## About

```text
At bluBank, I developed data pipelines with Python Faust, Apache Airflow, and Kafka, and built scalable infrastructure with Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and Kyuubi. That work improved data processing speed by 300%.

As Lead Data Engineer at bluBank, I led a team of data and DataOps engineers and designed a gradual roadmap to a customized stack. The roadmap targeted 200% performance and 70% resource usage compared with the old stack, without affecting analytics end users.

In my independent projects, I designed and prototyped a cloud-first self-service data platform for ingestion, cataloging, storage, and SQL analytics. I’ve also worked on scalable microservices, streaming systems, and data services at Vispax, Tapsell (Pegah Co.), and KIT.
