I have automated legacy systems to reduce downtime by 70%, engineered ML foundations managing 1GB across 358 tables for microsecond querying, and optimized migrations using Kafka, Debezium and Flink while deploying secure AWS KMS/SSM encryption.

I combine technical delivery with curriculum and team leadership, having led and mentored teams, improved SLA compliance to 98% and designed practical ML/AI capstone projects to boost learner outcomes. I focus on pragmatic, data-driven solutions that improve operational efficiency, user experience, and measurable business impact.
