What I'm looking for

I seek a data-engineering role focused on cloud-native architectures, scalable ETL, strong data governance, mentoring opportunities, and collaborative teams driving analytics impact.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with deep expertise in data architecture, pipeline development, and cloud-based platforms, focused on delivering reliable, scalable data solutions.

I have designed and optimized ETL and PySpark pipelines, led migrations from on-premise SQL Server to Azure Synapse and Data Lake, and implemented Delta Lake and Unity Catalog for governance.

My work reduced pipeline runtimes, improved query performance through partitioning and indexing, and enforced data quality and SLA monitoring across production systems while mentoring junior engineers.

I hold cloud and data engineering certifications and a computer science degree, and I bring strong collaboration, problem-solving, and data governance skills to help organizations leverage data effectively.
