What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can build reliable, auditable data platforms, improve observability and automation, and help teams trust and scale data-driven decisions.

I am a senior data platform engineer with nine years of experience designing resilient, auditable data systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I build lake-first architectures, automate schema and deployment workflows, and implement preflight checks and observability so analysts, traders, and compliance teams can trust the data they use.

My work has stabilized high-throughput ingestion paths, retired legacy warehouses, reduced query skew, and improved regulatory reporting by treating schemas and pipelines as code. I focus on reliability, reproducibility, and operational safety—pruning technical debt while enabling teams to move faster and with confidence.
