I am a delivery-oriented senior data engineer with 10 years building and maintaining ETL pipelines, data lakes, and data warehouses across AWS and Azure environments.

My background includes designing dimensional models, performance-tuning queries, and implementing ingestion of structured and semi-structured data (JSON, XML, CSV, PARQUET) into Hadoop and cloud storage. I have led projects for telecom, banking, and retail clients, developing pipelines with Glue, Databricks, and Azure Functions while using Agile practices like Scrum and Kanban.
I hold cloud certifications in AWS and Microsoft Azure and continue advancing my technical skills through formal study in Databricks, MongoDB, and advanced cloud data services. I focus on pragmatic solutions that improve data quality, observability, and time-to-insight for stakeholders.
