What I'm looking for

I seek a technical, growth-oriented role building cloud-native data platforms and real-time pipelines, with strong emphasis on mentorship, governance, and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with 10 years of experience designing, building, and optimizing high-performance data platforms that power analytics and machine learning. I build scalable ETL/ELL pipelines, lakehouse architectures, and real-time streaming solutions using modern cloud and big data technologies.

Throughout my career I have led cloud migrations, reduced infrastructure costs, and improved query and pipeline performance by implementing Databricks, Snowflake, BigQuery, Kafka, Flink, and Spark-based solutions. I emphasize data quality, governance, automated lineage, and observability to increase trust in data and accelerate model deployment.

I mentor junior engineers and collaborate cross-functionally to align engineering standards with business needs, driving adoption of data platforms and fostering continuous improvement and innovation.
