What I'm looking for

I seek senior data engineering/architecture roles where I can build real-time, cloud-native data platforms, lead teams, apply data governance, and integrate ML to drive measurable business outcomes.

I am a results-driven Senior Data Solution Architect with over 11 years designing and optimizing scalable, latency-conscious data solutions across cloud platforms. I specialize in real-time analytics, ETL pipeline engineering, and data warehouse modernization using tools such as Talend, Apache NiFi, Airflow, Informatica, Databricks, Snowflake, and Delta Lake.

At enterprise scale, I have architected cloud-native data platforms on AWS, Azure, and GCP, led large migrations from on-premises warehouses to modern lakehouse architectures, and engineered hundreds of ETL/ELT workflows to improve performance, reduce costs, and ensure regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GDPR).

I mentor cross-functional teams, implement data governance and DevOps best practices, and integrate ML models into production pipelines to deliver measurable business impact—improving forecast accuracy, reducing inventory stockouts, and accelerating analytics performance.
