What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can build scalable data platforms, lead cross-functional teams, apply MLOps and Generative AI, and drive measurable business impact in collaborative, growth-oriented environments.

Senior Data Engineer and Data Full Stack Professional with over 5 years dedicated to leveraging data to drive strategic business outcomes. My core expertise is in architecting and deploying scalable, robust data pipelines using cutting-edge tools like PySpark and high-performance Data Warehouses such as Snowflake and BigQuery. I possess multi-cloud capability, specializing in AWS and GCP infrastructure, with hands-on experience in Docker/Kubernetes and Vertex AI for seamless MLOps.

A career highlight involved leading BI implementations and operational optimization that directly led to a 250% increase in profitability and a 75% reduction in product cycle time. I achieve this by structuring comprehensive Data Governance frameworks, automating processes with Python/SQL, and developing strategic Power BI (DAX) and Looker Studio dashboards for real-time decision-making. I excel at stakeholder management and leading Agile projects (Scrum/Kanban) to ensure data strategy is fully aligned with business OKRs.
