Data Engineer building audited, production-ready lakehouses across insurance and telecom.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Engineer with around 5 years of experience building and maintaining large-scale data platforms across P&C insurance and telecom. I contribute to enterprise-grade lakehouse and pipeline development end-to-end—from real-time ingestion and PySpark transformations to dimensional modeling, dbt, and Power BI delivery.
At GEICO, I’ve helped consolidate policy, claims, billing, telematics, and customer interaction data into Snowflake and Azure Synapse Analytics, while running validation and regression checks that protect production stability. I also deliver secure, stakeholder-ready data products by collaborating with engineering, finance, and underwriting teams, supporting SOC 2 compliance (including passing 2 consecutive SOC2 audits with zero PII findings), and implementing governance with Azure AD/RBAC, Purview lineage, and masking—plus orchestration and access controls using ADF, Airflow, Unity Catalog, and Key Vault.
