I've built and operated enterprise data platforms for analytics, clinical reporting, and AI across Uplabs, TechWebsters, and FineLabs. At Uplabs, I owned an ELT platform processing peaks of approximately 1.2 billion rows per day into BigQuery and Snowflake for 50+ dashboards and 30+ data scientists.

I design production ELT workflows in Python and DBT, build CDC ingestion with Fivetran and custom connectors, and make data dependable through observability, data contracts, MDM, and governance. My work reduced core mart refreshes from 12 hours to 90 minutes, prevented 18 bad-metric incidents in a year, and improved pipeline SLA from 95% to 99.9%.

I've also modernized legacy T-SQL reporting into tested DBT models, built Kafka-powered near-real-time ingestion, and optimized warehouse architecture to reduce BigQuery storage costs by about $120k annually. I enjoy partnering with analytics, product, platform, clinical, and security teams to put reliable governed datasets into production.

I'm looking to bring platform, governance, and operational rigor to analytics and AI use cases.
