Data Engineer and IT Executive, building scalable ETL/ELT pipelines with 99.9% uptime.
What I'm looking for
I’m a result-oriented Data Engineer with a foundation in high-stakes IT Executive leadership. I architect scalable data pipelines and maintain 99.9% system uptime for global-scale events, bridging complex data infrastructure with business intelligence goals.
In my current role, I design automated, fault-tolerant ETL/ELT workflows using Python and SQL, transforming raw data into analytics-ready datasets for business intelligence. I lead cloud migration to Snowflake/BigQuery, improving query performance by 35% while reducing overhead costs, and I implement automated data validation to sustain 99.9% data integrity and cut manual reconciliation time.
I also bring strong infrastructure and security leadership, enforcing global security and compliance standards like GDPR/SOC2. From FIFA World Cup operations to healthcare emergency response work, I’ve managed real-time data streams, zero-downtime peak loads, and rigorous encryption/privacy requirements—then operationalized it all through remote-first collaboration with Git/GitHub, Docker, and Agile CI/CD.
