What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable data platforms and self-serve analytics, collaborating cross-functionally, mentoring teams, and delivering production ETL/ELT solutions on cloud data warehouses.

I am a Senior Data Engineer and Data Platform Specialist with 12+ years building scalable ETL/ELT pipelines, analytics platforms, and self-serve BI solutions across SaaS, e-commerce, and enterprise environments. I deliver production-ready data models and automated workflows using Python, SQL, Airflow, dbt, and cloud data warehouses like Snowflake, BigQuery, and Redshift to accelerate insights and improve data quality.

I have led cross-functional collaborations with product, marketing, and engineering teams to align data strategy with business goals, mentored junior engineers, and developed experimentation, cohort, and retention analytics that inform revenue and engagement decisions. I hold SnowPro Core, Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer, AWS Data Analytics Specialty, Databricks Data Engineer Associate, and Certified ScrumMaster certifications.
