What I'm looking for

I seek a data-focused role where I can lead engineering efforts, build scalable ETL and streaming systems, mentor teams, and deliver business-impacting analytics in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a senior data engineer with eight years in tech and five years focused on data engineering, delivering scalable ETL pipelines and cloud-based solutions across industries. I design, install, test, and maintain complex data systems to unlock actionable insights and improve decision-making.

I've led projects using Azure Data Factory, Redshift, Kafka, Spark, Hadoop and major cloud providers to automate workflows, enable real-time streaming, and produce finance and genomics reporting. Notable achievements include building pricing support tools, end-to-end genomics pipelines, and dynamic Power BI dashboards that reduced manual effort and improved data accuracy.

I bring strong technical execution alongside team leadership and project management skills, thriving in collaborative environments where I can streamline processes, mentor engineers, and deliver business-focused data solutions.
