Cloud Database Administrator and Data Engineer at Mercola, optimizing Azure SQL and building Databricks pipelines.

United States
Message

At Mercola, I administer business-critical Azure SQL environments and optimize query performance, indexing, and resource allocation. My work has delivered significant cloud cost savings while maintaining or improving application performance.

I lead data engineering initiatives using Databricks, including Delta Lake and Unity Catalog, and develop Python-based pipelines with Apache Airflow and Apache Spark in AWS ECS/EKS environments. These pipelines connect operational databases with analytical platforms.

Previously, at House of Brick Technologies, I provided SQL Server consulting and technical leadership for enterprise clients. I architected Always On Availability Groups and supported migrations, performance tuning, and data integration in regulated environments.
