What I'm looking for

I seek a senior data engineering role building scalable, governed data platforms—prefer collaborative teams, cloud-first infrastructure, ownership of end-to-end pipelines, mentorship opportunities, and measurable impact on analytics and ML.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with 11+ years designing and delivering large-scale data pipelines, data warehouses, and real-time streaming solutions across finance, e-commerce, and technology domains. I have led teams, migrated on-prem systems to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), and optimized architectures—reducing costs and improving performance while enforcing governance and security.

My hands-on expertise includes Spark, Kafka, Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, and I pair technical depth with mentoring and CI/CD best practices to produce reliable, high-performance data platforms that enable analytics and ML use cases.
