Hi, my name is
Kayden Lim.
I build and maintain data platforms and architecture.
About Me
Hello! I'm a Data Engineer with a passion for dealing with data. I have previously held several relevant positions, including working at Pro Ladang PLT, a technological agriculture startup which utilizes satellite imagery to improve crop quality and health.
Most recently, I was a Data Engineer Intern at MoneyLion (Nov 2025 - May 2026), where I:
- Contributed to a FinOps initiative that reduced Snowflake compute usage by 20% (saving ~USD 192k annually).
- Enabled the archival of over 20TB of unused data via Snowflake ACCOUNT_USAGE views.
- Extended a data pipeline framework processing 100+ TB of data from PostgreSQL, MySQL, and NoSQL databases.
- Onboarded 20 dbt projects comprising 10,000+ models to our organization’s data catalog.
- Built a CI workflow reducing pipeline setup time by over 50% and eliminating manual validation.
- Provisioned access roles across 80+ Amazon Aurora clusters for metadata ingestion and lineage tracking.
- Migrated 7 Kubernetes applications to a centralized Helm chart structure for better maintainability.
- Practiced IaC using Terraform to manage Snowflake, AWS, and BI tool access.
Prior to this, I led data analysis efforts at Boardroom Group and worked at Pro Ladang PLT, an agritech startup.
When I'm not writing code or querying databases, I enjoy listening to music albums (which inevitably leads to me building an ETL pipeline just to overanalyze my listening habits), reading books (Crime and Punishment by Dostoevsky is my favorite), and training Brazilian jiu-jitsu (mostly getting wrecked).
