What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative environment that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated Data Engineer with a strong focus on architecting scalable, cloud-native data pipelines and warehouses that transform raw data into strategic insights. My expertise lies in designing high-performance ETL/ELT workflows using technologies such as Informatica, Apache NiFi, Spark, and the Microsoft Stack, with a keen emphasis on hybrid cloud solutions like AWS and Azure.

Throughout my career, I have successfully optimized distributed systems to process terabytes of data efficiently and automate workflows using Python and Bash. I have a proven track record of managing and optimizing data warehouse solutions, ensuring compliance with data governance policies, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to enhance data quality and accessibility. My commitment to continuous learning and mentorship has allowed me to stay updated on industry trends and evaluate new tools for integration into the data engineering stack.
