What I'm looking for
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.

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.
