What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end data quality and validation, build BI dashboards, and partner with global teams to meet regulatory requirements while improving time-to-market.

I’m a Mechatronics Engineer with a solid track record in the data lifecycle, specialized in Data Quality (DQ), technical validation, and regulatory compliance for the financial and healthcare sectors. I optimize complex operations and accelerate time-to-market by leading end-to-end testing strategies and implementing BI solutions for C-suite decision-making.

As a Data Engineer at CITI BANK, I provide technical support for high-availability data solutions using PySpark, SQL, Java/Mantas, and Hive within Big Data, Kafka, and Oracle ecosystems. I lead end-to-end testing for critical Regulatory Projects (Mexico & NAM), validate data integrity/completeness/DQ during a bank divestiture, and manage scheduling/orchestration with ACF and Autosys in a CI/CD environment using Jenkins. Previously at AXA KERALTY, I led strategic dashboards in Tableau (Salesforce Health Cloud/Marketing Cloud), delivered technical ad-hoc development with JavaScript/HTML/CSS, and monitored KPIs for NLP and customer experience using Python libraries.
