What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can design and automate scalable data pipelines and ETL/ELT on GCP/AWS, while collaborating in an agile team to deliver secure, high-quality analytics and API/web solutions.

I’m a Data Engineer and Fullstack Developer with a solid career in comprehensive data management and application development. I focus on efficient processing and analysis of large data sets, and I design and optimize data pipelines to ensure integrity, efficiency, traceability, and availability.

In my recent experience, I design, build, and operate end-to-end data engineering solutions on GCP. I implement scalable ETL/ELT processes, standardize maintainable code using OOP, and orchestrate batch and critical flows with Control-M and Airflow (DAGs, dependencies, monitoring, and error handling). I also design and administer analytics-optimized databases and develop analytical processes and business rules using SAS.

Previously, I strengthened real-time ingestion and transformation with NiFi and established data management platforms using Cloudera technologies such as HDFS, YARN, Hive, and Zeppelin for exploratory analysis. Alongside data engineering, I build complete web solutions using Python, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, Django, React, Symfony, and PHP—then align everything with agile/Scrum practices to deliver robust, scalable outcomes that meet banking-grade security and compliance expectations.
