Stacy Konkiel | Data Engineer | Cloud & Analytics Infrastructure

About

Stacy Konkiel is a data engineer and analytics strategist with 15+ years of experience spanning retail tech, academic publishing, and research infrastructure. She currently builds cloud data pipelines and analytics systems at Best Buy, and has previously led analytics roles at Altmetric, Our Research, and Indiana University.

Her background in scientometrics and research evaluation gives her unusual depth in domains where data quality and interpretive rigor matter most: healthcare, life sciences, and public sector analytics. She holds graduate degrees in Information and Library Science from Indiana University, with active project work in LLMOps and retrieval-augmented generation.

Stacy is open to fractional engagements with organizations that need someone who can build reliable data infrastructure and translate it for non-technical stakeholders.
