What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth in data engineering.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with over 6 years of experience specializing in designing and maintaining robust data pipelines. My expertise spans from simple ETL pipelines using Airflow to managing complex systems like Apache Flink, Trino, and ClickHouse. I am passionate about exploring the latest technologies and applying them strategically to enhance data-driven decision-making.

Currently, I work at BurdaForward GmbH, where I have successfully reduced AWS and Snowflake costs by over $30,000 and simplified legacy pipelines with modern solutions. My role also involves mentoring junior data engineers, fostering a collaborative environment, and building real-time architectures with Flink and Kinesis. I thrive on challenges and put my creative efforts into finding effective solutions.

Throughout my career, I have worked with various companies, including AlphaPet Ventures GmbH and Smile AI GmbH, where I optimized data workloads and automated ETL processes. My goal is to continue leveraging my skills to build scalable and efficient data infrastructures that drive business success.
