Data engineer specializing in Big Data, analytics, and AI, delivering cost-efficient, automated data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a data engineer focused on building scalable, cost-efficient big data and AI pipelines that turn raw data into reliable business insights.
I refactored a data infrastructure of 30+ Cloud Functions into a FastAPI microservice on Cloud Run, automated with Terraform & GitHub Actions, added Slack alerts & logging for errors and data quality checks, cutting deployment time by 80% and delivering a reliable, maintainable, well-documented system. I also built a multi-source revenue pipeline (Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, etc.) into Databricks and Looker dashboards, cutting manual tracking by 80% and cut costs 90% with a BigQuery→GCS→Snowflake migration pipeline.
I deployed real-time anomaly detection (SARIMA) with Slack alerts for web analytics, automated GA4 ingestion and real-time revenue attribution pipelines, and developed ETL jobs in PySpark on Databricks. I have built custom GPT/chatbots on BigQuery and worked with RAG, LangChain, Pinecone and OpenAI to deliver instant data insights and AI-driven interfaces.
I hold a BS in Computer Science and led my team to win IBA Datathon 2.0 in the data engineering domain; I also served as manager of a 12+ member tech domain and founded a social welfare body of 30+ volunteers. I pursue roles where I can apply automation, observability, and cost optimization to deliver measurable business value.
