What I'm looking for

I seek a role building resilient, event-driven data platforms and lakehouses with autonomy, strong cross-functional collaboration, and emphasis on reliability, cost efficiency, and observability.

I am an event-driven data platform engineer focused on resilient cloud infrastructure, CDC/streaming pipelines, and medallion lakehouse architectures across GCP, Azure, and AWS.

I have designed and led disaster recovery exercises, terraformed enterprise data platforms, and implemented streaming CDC pipelines using Debezium, Kafka, Airflow, and BigQuery to deliver near-real-time trusted data.

I contributed to revenue-generating managed services by co-designing Scala/Spark Databricks lakehouse pipelines and built secure, compliant integrations handling sensitive PHI within SOC2 and HIPAA environments.

I also bring hands-on experience reducing cloud costs through CI/CD and modular BI SQL practices, partnering cross-functionally to accelerate self-serve analytics adoption and improve platform reliability through SLA-based monitoring.
