I build cloud-native batch and streaming data pipelines that modernize enterprise data platforms.

United States
Message

I've built and modernized enterprise data platforms for Capital One, Kroger, Discover Financial Services, and JPMorgan Chase. At Capital One, I delivered AWS Glue and Amazon Data Firehose pipelines that improved reliability and throughput by 40%, and migrated legacy Ab Initio ETL workloads to PySpark and Databricks, reducing S3 and Redshift storage costs by 25%.

I design batch and streaming pipelines across AWS, Azure, and GCP using Spark, PySpark, Python, SQL, Databricks, Snowflake, Kafka, and lakehouse technologies. I also strengthen delivery through CI/CD, observability, data governance, and mentoring engineers on data quality and root-cause analysis.
