What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build and lead governed, real-time cloud data & AI platforms—designing secure architectures, automating pipelines with CI/CD, and delivering measurable performance gains with strong stakeholder collaboration.

I’m a results-driven Data & AI Architect with 14+ years of experience building enterprise-scale, cloud-native data platforms, distributed real-time pipelines, and AI/ML and GenAI solutions. I’ve led end-to-end architecture and migration work—most notably transitioning Microsoft’s CDCN data platform from legacy Hive metastore to Databricks Unity Catalog across 500+ tables—while enforcing fine-grained security and delivering zero-data-loss validation.

My approach blends strong governance with practical delivery: Medallion architecture on Azure Databricks and Delta Lake, event-driven ingestion (e.g., RabbitMQ), performance optimization, and automated reconciliation to ensure 99.5% SLA compliance. I also help teams scale through CI/CD automation (Azure DevOps/GitHub), data lineage and classification (Azure Purview), and reusable ingestion/validation frameworks—so stakeholders get faster, trusted analytics and measurable improvements (e.g., -45% dashboard latency, -40% pipeline time, -20% manual risk review).
