What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, secure data platforms where I can lead engineering, improve performance, implement governance, and enable real-time analytics.

I am a Lead Data Engineer with 9+ years of experience designing and optimizing large-scale data platforms across cloud and on-prem environments, focused on reducing latency, cutting costs, and enabling real-time analytics. I have led engineering teams, implemented governance and HIPAA-compliant monitoring, and delivered secure, scalable solutions using Python, SQL, Databricks, Azure, and BigQuery.

My work includes architecting ELT pipelines processing 15+ TB daily, standardizing data models across Synapse and multi-cloud platforms, building CI/CD for Databricks and Fabric, and improving query performance and release cycles substantially. I am passionate about mentoring engineers, driving measurable business value, and building high-performance data systems for enterprise clients.
