What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and growth, where I can leverage my data engineering expertise to drive impactful business decisions.

As a Senior Data Engineer with over a decade of experience, I specialize in building scalable, production-grade data infrastructure and analytics pipelines. My journey has been marked by a proven ability to reduce data latency, optimize cloud costs, and deliver impactful data solutions that drive decision-making across various teams, including product, marketing, and finance.

At Nike, I played a pivotal role in supporting the Digital Commerce Analytics Platform, where I rebuilt customer engagement pipelines and migrated our ETL stack to modular Airflow DAGs. This not only reduced maintenance by 60% but also improved uptime and achieved significant cloud cost savings. My efforts contributed to enabling faster, data-backed decisions that resulted in over $5 million in marketing optimization and avoided stockout losses of $3 million.

Previously, at Amazon, I engineered real-time order event processing pipelines that ensured accurate inventory updates during peak times, significantly reducing fulfillment errors. My work on the Retail Supply Chain Insights Platform delivered infrastructure capable of scaling with over $1 billion in monthly order volume. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive business outcomes and continuously seek opportunities to innovate and improve data systems.
