What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can architect and scale cloud-native data platforms, drive observability and governance, mentor engineers, and deliver measurable reliability and cost improvements.

I am a Senior Data Architect with 12+ years building and scaling cloud-native data platforms across healthcare, finance, SaaS, and analytics-driven environments. I specialize in architecting high-volume batch and streaming pipelines, multi-tenant platforms, real-time analytics systems, and enterprise data warehouses on AWS, GCP, Azure, and Snowflake.

At DataRobot I served as architect and technical owner of a multi-tenant enterprise data platform for 1,000+ customers, designing high-throughput, idempotent, replayable pipelines that process billions of records monthly, reduce latency from hours to minutes, and introduced observability that cut production incidents by 55%.

I lead cross-functional efforts on SLA/SLO definition, data contract enforcement, and incident escalation while mentoring senior and mid-level engineers. I deliver secure, cost-optimized cloud infrastructures, hybrid connectivity, and governance guardrails, driving measurable uptime, cost, and reliability improvements.
