I build resilient SQL Server data platforms and modernize critical ETL workflows.
What I'm looking for
I've led data-platform architecture at TechTitans Studio, building and modernizing SQL Server and MongoDB capabilities for performance, scalability, security, and reliable downstream delivery.
I design scalable data pipelines, streamline legacy ETL workflows, and improve transactional and analytical integrations. My work includes query tuning, workload analysis, data synchronization, transformation patterns, and observability across critical business operations.
Previously at Rust-Oleum Corporation, I led data architecture initiatives that strengthened governance and compliance, improved data models and schema design, reduced redundancy, and expanded reporting capabilities across business units.
I enjoy collaborating with product, design, QA, IT, operations, and analytical teams to turn requirements into practical data solutions. I also mentor junior engineers through coaching and code reviews, with a focus on best practices, continuous learning, operational resilience, and customer-focused delivery.
