What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Data Engineering role where I can build dbt+ClickHouse ELT pipelines, automate quality and SLA-based alerting, and improve reliability through orchestration (Dagster/Airflow), CI/CD, and scalable modeling.

I’m an Analytics/Data Engineer focused on building scalable ELT pipelines with dbt and ClickHouse, turning business requirements into dependable data models and marts. I translate stakeholder needs into marts, automated quality systems, and production-ready workflows.

Most recently, I developed and maintained a dbt+ClickHouse platform with 1,500+ models across 45+ data sources and multi-cluster infrastructure (EU, US, APAC), optimizing the dependency DAG through incremental materializations. I also implemented custom ClickHouse dbt materializations and macros (including incremental+live, microbatch, materialized views, and dictionaries) to improve performance and reliability.

I build with operational rigor: I created SLA-based data quality alerting (dbt tests → ClickHouse → Google Chat) to enable non-technical teams to act on violations without engineering involvement. I also pioneered AI-assisted development to accelerate dbt migrations and introduced self-healing pipeline debugging workflows.

Beyond analytics engineering, I’ve shipped custom Python source connectors and led migration of 10+ sources to an internal extraction service, replacing Airbyte and reducing infrastructure costs. I’ve also moved scheduling from GitHub Actions to Dagster orchestration and managed CI/CD for automated multi-cluster testing and execution on Kubernetes.
