Cloud Data Engineer with expertise in Azure and Python development.
What I'm looking for
As a Cloud Data Engineer with extensive experience in Azure technologies and Python development, I have successfully built event-driven streaming pipelines and developed robust ETL processes. My journey began with a Master of Engineering from the University of Louisiana, and I have since honed my skills at leading companies like Enterprise Holdings and Wells Fargo.
Throughout my career, I have been involved in various projects that required a deep understanding of data integration and transformation. I have developed APIs, automated data transfers, and created monitoring solutions using Azure services. My technical competencies include Python, SQL, Azure Data Factory, and Databricks, which I leverage to deliver high-quality data solutions that drive business insights.
