What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning in data engineering.

As a Senior Data Engineer with over 10 years of experience, I have successfully designed and governed scalable, modern data platforms across various domains including fintech, eCommerce, and healthcare. My expertise lies in architecting cloud-native, enterprise-grade solutions that leverage technologies such as Databricks, Delta Lake, and Apache Spark. I am adept at implementing data lakehouse and data mesh architectures, driving data democratization through self-service analytics, and ensuring data governance and security best practices.

Throughout my career, I have built high-performance systems that enable analytics and operational decision-making at scale. My recent role at Walmart involved designing a Data Mesh architecture for warehouse operations, which enhanced scalability and decentralized ownership. I have a proven track record of aligning data architecture with business objectives and leading cross-functional teams to elevate data maturity across the enterprise. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive insights and improve decision-making processes.
