What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead cloud modernization and HIPAA-compliant data engineering on Azure—owning ETL/ELT, governed analytics, and legacy migration—while collaborating end-to-end (architecture to production) with strong security, CI/CD, and practical AI acceleration.

I’m a “Cloud Solutions Architect and Data Engineer” with 20+ years of full-lifecycle experience driving digital transformation across state and federal healthcare environments. I specialize in migrating and modernizing legacy systems to scalable, cloud-native architectures without disrupting operations.

My core strength is data engineering: designing ETL/ELT pipelines, building medallion-architecture data lakes (Bronze/Silver/Gold), and delivering governed analytics platforms at federal scale. I’ve delivered analytics using Azure Synapse (Apache Spark), ADF, Snowflake, and SQL Server, with strong T-SQL expertise (stored procedures, query optimization, and indexing).

In healthcare modernization, I focus on HIPAA-compliant solutions, including CMS, Medicare/Medicaid, and eligibility systems. I’ve led multi-year Azure transformations (e.g., migrating 15 apps, 8 SQL Server DBs, and 50TB of data with zero downtime) and re-architected integrations into event-driven architectures that improved reliability and cut latency dramatically.

I’m equally comfortable whiteboarding with executives and writing production code across the stack, including C#/.NET, Python, React, Next.js, and TypeScript. I also accelerate delivery using Azure OpenAI/LLM tooling and AI-assisted development (VIBE coding) while maintaining compliance, security, and quality through CI/CD and strong governance.
