## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead reliable data and AI platform work where I can modernize enterprise pipelines, strengthen data controls, and build governed systems for regulated or business-critical data.
```

## About

```text
I've led Florida Polytechnic University's migration from legacy SSIS, SQL Server, and Ellucian Banner to Azure, moving 20 pipelines into Azure Functions and cutting daily scan volume by 99% through incremental watermarking.

I build reliable financial data systems with idempotent loads, reconciliation, audit trails, failure recovery, and event-driven orchestration. My work includes a RabbitMQ-triggered Florida Prepaid reconciliation pipeline, governed Cinchy semantic models, Databricks architecture, and AI-assisted backend engineering for an enterprise grant-workflow platform.

During six years at Citi, I engineered data-quality controls, regulatory lineage, ETL validation, and cross-border data-residency processes across AML, KYC, federal reporting, and accounts-payable systems.
