Hi, I'm

Destiny
Raburnel

Data & AI Engineer · AI Strategy & Enablement

I build the systems behind enterprise AI and draw on that hands-on foundation to guide teams toward sound AI decisions. I design and build pipelines, data marts, and AI-ready datasets that production AI depends on — and have delivered production RAG, agentic, and multi-agent LLM systems. I pair that engineering depth with the ability to identify business use cases, shape AI solutions, and lead AI adoption across business and technical teams. Dual Master's candidate in AI and Software Engineering at Kennesaw State University. Background in Biomedical Engineering from Mercer University.

Experience

Data Engineer

Primerica

June 2025 – Present
  • Lead AI enablement and education sessions for senior leadership, executives, and cross-functional teams, teaching practical AI use cases and establishing adoption frameworks for responsible enterprise AI integration — including GitHub Copilot
  • Serve as primary Palantir Foundry SME and point of contact, owning identification of enterprise business use cases for AI, translating business needs into data and AI solutions, communicating business value to leadership, and supporting platform administration and troubleshooting
  • Partner with business leaders and a vendor delivery team to scope, evaluate, and prioritize AI and data use cases in Palantir Foundry, governing how the ontology and enterprise data models are developed as data marts migrate into the platform
  • Design and build data marts and dimensional models using star schema principles to prepare and structure enterprise data for AI, analytics, and BI consumption, enabling downstream AI implementation and ML-ready datasets
  • Develop and maintain Medallion Architecture (Bronze → Silver → Gold) ETL/ELT pipelines in Databricks with SQL and Spark transformations, business-rule logic, validation, and performance optimization across large enterprise datasets
  • Integrate enterprise data and observability pipelines using QLIK Replicate, Dynatrace RUM, APIs, webhooks, Amazon S3, and IBM systems; create Power BI dashboards on curated warehouse and data mart structures
  • Support CI/CD workflows, API testing, and deployment automation with Jenkins, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions, and Postman
