What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and professional growth in data engineering.

I am a results-driven Big Data Engineer with over 5 years of experience in cloud data engineering, ETL development, and optimizing large-scale data pipelines. My expertise lies in AWS, Azure, SQL, Python, and Spark, with a strong focus on real-time data processing and cost-efficient cloud architecture. I am adept at automating workflows, migrating data solutions, and implementing data governance best practices to enhance business intelligence and decision-making.

In my current role as an AWS Data Engineer at Systems Plus Technologies, I have developed automated ETL workflows in Python, processing over 1TB of data monthly, which has significantly enhanced the availability of multiple reporting dashboards. I have also optimized data ingestion pipelines, reducing processing time by 30%, and designed real-time data pipelines that improved efficiency while cutting operational costs by 20%. My previous experiences have equipped me with a robust skill set in managing AWS infrastructure and implementing CI/CD pipelines, leading to substantial improvements in deployment efficiency.
