What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on role where I can design scalable cloud data platforms, improve data quality and observability, partner with stakeholders, mentor engineers, and drive measurable business impact.

I am an Analytics Engineer with 6+ years building cloud-native data models and pipelines across finance, healthcare, and retail. I specialize in SQL, dbt, and Python to deliver trusted, business-ready datasets, define metrics, and document lineage to enable self-service analytics at scale.

I have implemented orchestration with Airflow and ADF, optimized BigQuery/Snowflake/Synapse for cost and performance, and driven data quality using dbt tests and Great Expectations. I partner closely with stakeholders, mentor junior engineers, and deliver reliable, scalable solutions that empower analytics and downstream BI/ML teams.
