What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building resilient, secure, cloud-native data platforms with strong observability, governance, and opportunities to mentor and lead architecture.

I am a Senior Data Architect with 12+ years designing and scaling cloud-native data platforms across healthcare, finance, SaaS, and analytics-driven environments.

I architect high-volume batch and streaming pipelines, multi-tenant platforms, real-time analytics systems, and enterprise data warehouses on AWS, GCP, Azure, and Snowflake, often processing billions of records monthly.

My work has reduced latency from hours to minutes, cut costs through optimization, improved uptime and reliability, and introduced observability and governance that lowered production incidents and improved schema stability.

I mentor engineers, lead architecture reviews, and serve as a technical escalation point—delivering resilient, secure, and cost-effective data platforms that enable analytics, product intelligence, and ML workloads.
