## About

```text
I'm a Senior Data Engineer with 6 years of experience across Azure, AWS and GCP. Right now I'm part of the core data team at Murgitroyd, an international intellectual property firm, delivering a data migration programme on Azure Synapse Analytics.

My day-to-day work covers the full migration lifecycle:
🔹 Running requirements and mapping workshops with business users and the core team
🔹 Profiling source data and writing source-to-target mapping specifications
🔹 Building Synapse pipelines and Mapping Data Flows to cleanse, transform and load data
🔹 Designing metadata-driven, incremental pipelines that scale across many entities
🔹 Reconciling source and target data so the business can sign off with confidence
🔹 Deploying from Dev to Test to Production through Git and Azure DevOps

Before this, I built AWS data lake and Snowflake pipelines for international clients at Symufolk, and Azure Data Factory, Databricks and BigQuery pipelines supporting fraud analytics at Feedzai.
What I care about: clean, well-documented data, pipelines that don't break silently, and working closely with the people who actually use the data.

Tech: Azure Synapse · Data Factory · ADLS Gen2 · Databricks · SQL / T-SQL · Python · PySpark · AWS Glue · S3 · Athena · Snowflake · Airflow · dbt · Azure DevOps
