Data Engineer focused on scalable Azure pipelines, faster ETL, and reliable analytics platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Azure-focused Data Engineer who builds migration-ready, high-throughput data pipelines that keep cutovers zero-data-loss and ETL times consistently lower. At OneSavingsBank, I led the migration of 5+ enterprise banking sources to Azure using PySpark and SQL.
I engineered 20+ ingestion pipelines with Databricks, ADF, and Microsoft Fabric, using Kafka and a Medallion architecture to process 100K+ records/day and improve query performance. I also developed Synapse Data Warehouse layers with watermarking and SCD Type 2, plus star-schema modeling to support curated downstream APIs.
In my current role, I automate data movement across Fabric Lakehouses and manage CI/CD in Azure DevOps, cutting release cycles by 25% while keeping environments scalable. I aim for data products that are maintainable, observable, and built for change.
Before this, I worked as a Data Analyst where I reduced data processing time by 20% through automated pipelines and ETL optimization using Python, Azure, and Power BI. I also led a team of 3 associates, driving operational improvements through data quality scorecards and insights.
