I build scalable Spark and Azure data platforms for fraud detection, compliance, and enterprise analytics.
What I'm looking for
At HN Services, I lead Spark-based data pipelines and referential microservices for a major European bank, supporting fraud detection, regulatory reporting, analytics, and machine learning scoring through Cloudera CDP, HBase, ElasticSearch, and PostgreSQL.
Across 20+ years in financial, cybersecurity, and enterprise environments, I've built Azure, Databricks, ADF, SQL Server, and SSIS data platforms. I focus on reliable, documented systems that scale under real-world workloads, including ETL automation that reduced manual reporting by 40%+ and cost-analysis models that identified 10% savings.
