What I'm looking for

I seek roles building production-grade cloud data platforms and ML solutions with strong emphasis on data quality, governance, CI/CD, and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a Senior Data Engineer and Data Scientist with 7+ years building scalable, compliant cloud data platforms and production ML solutions across insurance, healthcare, and financial services. I design and operate ETL/ELT pipelines, lakehouse architectures, and analytics engineering workflows using GCP, Databricks, Snowflake, dbt, and Spark to deliver reliable, high-performance data products.

I have hands-on experience with LLMs and transformer models (BERT, RoBERTa, T5) and modern AI (GPT-3.5, Claude, Mistral), and a strong focus on data quality, governance, HIPAA and SOC 2 compliance. I drive cost optimization, CI/CD automation, Terraform-based infrastructure, and mentor teams to embed best practices for observability, lineage, and secure data access.
