I design cloud data architectures, models, and pipelines for reliable analytics.
What I'm looking for
At DataSeal Kenya, I design data warehouse, data lake, and data vault architectures across Snowflake, AWS Redshift, Azure, Databricks, Teradata, and GCP platforms.
I translate business needs into conceptual, logical, and physical data models, data marts, warehouses, and vaults. I build ETL and ELT pipelines with SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Matillion, and Snowflake Tasks while improving data quality, reducing redundancy, and supporting database performance.
My work includes reverse-engineering legacy systems, mapping on-premise databases to cloud platforms, documenting source-to-target flows, and defining data architecture standards. I also work with governance and quality teams on reference data, master data, metadata, cleansing rules, and regulatory compliance.
Earlier, I supported ERP customers, developed backend solutions in .NET, C#, and SQL, customized Acumatica, and built API-driven application integrations. I bring over five years of experience across data architecture, data modeling, analysis, security, and cloud data platforms.
