What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth opportunities in data architecture and engineering.

With over a decade of experience, I am a seasoned Data Architect and Engineering Leader specializing in the design and implementation of high-performance, cloud-native data platforms. My expertise spans real-time data streaming, data lakes, and cutting-edge AI/ML solutions that empower organizations to unlock actionable insights.

I have a strong track record of building scalable and resilient architectures such as Lakehouse and Data Mesh across multi-cloud environments including AWS, Azure, and GCP. My leadership style focuses on fostering cross-functional collaboration to drive innovation and streamline complex data initiatives. Beyond architecture, I excel in optimizing ETL workflows, leading digital transformation projects, and embedding AI and large language models (LLMs) into business intelligence and predictive analytics solutions.

By combining technical acumen with strategic vision, I help organizations future-proof their data ecosystems, enhance decision-making, and maintain trust through robust governance and privacy frameworks.
