What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable cloud-native data platforms, driving migrations, automating pipelines, and partnering with BI teams to enable analytics and data-driven decisions.

I am a results-driven Lead Data Engineer with 8+ years architecting scalable data solutions across cloud and on-premises environments, focused on real-time and batch data pipelines using Spark, Kafka, Airflow, Snowflake, and Databricks.

I have led cloud migration efforts (Hive/Hadoop to Snowflake on Azure), built Kafka-based IoT ingestion for near real-time analytics, and deployed cloud-native ETL frameworks leveraging ADF, S3, Redshift, and dbt to improve performance and reporting efficiency.

I am passionate about automation, data democratization, and enabling BI through solid data modeling and orchestration; I collaborate closely with BI and analytics teams to deliver production-ready pipelines and unified storage solutions.
