What I'm looking for

I seek roles designing and delivering enterprise streaming platforms and event-driven architectures, with hands-on technical leadership, mentorship, and opportunities to standardize patterns and accelerate time-to-production.

I am a Solution Architect with 8+ years focused on event-driven architectures and streaming data platforms, leveraging deep expertise in the Apache Kafka ecosystem to help enterprises move from batch to real-time processing. I have advised 50+ enterprise customers across retail, healthcare, banking and manufacturing, designed event topologies and data contracts, and deployed Confluent Platform and Cloud solutions to accelerate time-to-production.

My work includes migrating 10M+ daily events to Kafka Streams for Michelin's supply chain (reducing latency by 80%), mentoring engineering teams to achieve 95% on-time delivery, and leading technical workshops and Event Storming sessions. I combine domain-driven design, stream processing (Kafka Streams, Flink), cloud-native deployments (Kubernetes, AWS/GCP/Azure) and a strong focus on data governance to deliver reliable, production-grade streaming architectures.
