I’m a results-driven Data Engineer specializing in scalable ETL/ELT, real-time streaming, and lakehouse platforms.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Engineer with 5+ years of experience architecting and delivering end-to-end scalable data solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP cloud ecosystems. I focus on high-throughput ETL/ELT, real-time streaming with Kafka and Spark Streaming, and enterprise data warehousing on Snowflake, BigQuery, and Azure Synapse. I build modern lakehouse architectures with PySpark, Python, SQL, Databricks, Apache Airflow, dbt, and Delta Lake.
In my most recent role, I architected a HIPAA-compliant Lakehouse on Microsoft Fabric, integrating Synapse Analytics, OneLake, and Dataflows Gen2 to collapse 50% of data silos and accelerate cross-domain availability by 200%. I designed secure ETL pipelines to ingest and transform 1M+ patient records into Delta Lake and Snowflake, and I improved real-time clinical delivery using Azure Stream Analytics and Kafka Streams by slashing end-to-end latency by 40%. I also delivered CI/CD automation with Azure DevOps and GitHub Actions, plus Terraform-based infrastructure-as-code, to reduce deployment time by 70% and strengthen governance aligned to HIPAA, GDPR, and CCPA.
I’ve also modernized enterprise pipelines in retail—moving legacy Informatica workflows to GCP-native architectures and scaling throughput by 3x—while rebuilding transformations as modular dbt models with partitioning, clustering, and SQL testing. Across domains, I prioritize measurable performance gains (e.g., 30–50% latency reductions), operational efficiency (e.g., 60% cuts in manual overhead), and reliability (95%+ SLA attainment). I’m at my best when I can combine engineering rigor, data governance (RBAC, IAM, audit logging, PII masking, lineage), and practical automation to help teams ship faster with confidence.
Experience
Work history, roles, and key accomplishments
Architected a HIPAA-compliant Microsoft Fabric lakehouse and built secure ETL pipelines to ingest and transform patient data into Delta Lake and Snowflake for clinical analytics. Implemented real-time streaming, monitoring, CI/CD automation, and governed access for reporting and regulatory needs.
Modernized legacy Informatica PowerCenter ETL to GCP-native pipelines and built batch and streaming data workflows for retail analytics. Developed dbt models, orchestration with Airflow/Cloud Composer, compliance-focused transformations, and analytics in BigQuery and Snowflake.
Developed Power BI dashboards and semantic models to deliver retail sales and inventory analytics to stakeholders. Built SQL transformations and automated ingestion with Python/Pandas and PySpark/Databricks, including dimensional modeling and A/B testing to support reporting and business decisions.
Replatformed Oracle warehouse ETL to PySpark on Azure Databricks and built real-time streaming pipelines with Kafka and Spark Streaming. Authored batch and streaming workflows using Azure Data Factory, modernized HDFS/HBase ingestion to Spark, and improved performance and data quality through query and pipeline tuning.
