What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build scalable, reliable data platforms and pipelines, especially in fintech, risk, lending, or analytics environments. I value work where I can improve data quality, enable self-serve analytics, and support high-impact product and business decisions.

I've built credit risk, lending, payments, fraud, and analytics data pipelines at Intasend Solutions Limited and scalable ELT data flows at LuxDev HQ. My work spans Kafka, Spark, Airflow, Fivetran, dbt, Snowflake, and Pinot across real-time and batch processing.

At LuxDev HQ, I reduced processing time by 58% and infrastructure costs by 36%, while enabling self-serve analytics for five product teams. I also implement data quality, lineage, PII tagging, retention, and model-ready datasets that support reliable decision-making.
