Senior data engineer building scalable data platforms for GenAI, commerce, and healthcare analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data Engineer with 13+ years building large-scale data platforms across GenAI, commerce, healthcare, and retail analytics. I use Python, SQL, Spark/PySpark, and cloud data stacks to deliver production-grade datasets and pipelines for customer-facing AI assistants, de-identified longitudinal healthcare analytics, loyalty analytics, personalization, and closed-loop retail measurement.
Across teams, I’ve standardized high-volume data foundations and modernized lakehouse-style architectures using AWS/Snowflake and Azure/Cosmos patterns. I focus on performance and reliability—config-driven orchestration with Airflow, dbt incremental models and testing, Kafka-style event pipelines, and governance/quality frameworks—cutting backfills by 60%, improving SLA compliance from 92% to 99%, reducing transformation runtime by 45%, and lowering production data defects by 38%.
