What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own data quality and reliability for cloud ETL and analytics, plus apply ML responsibly. I want production-grade pipelines with CI/CD, automated validation, and measurable outcomes for downstream teams.

I’m a Quality Engineer who builds Python/SQL data validation pipelines for large-scale cloud ETL systems, ensuring model-ready data integrity. At Equifax, I verified ingestion and transformation workflows in BigQuery, designed automated quality checks across CSV/JSON/Parquet, and integrated CI/CD and cloud tooling to support reliable analytics downstream.

I also apply machine learning in end-to-end projects—training deep learning models with reproducible experiments and automated tests, and building graph-based clinical risk models using PyTorch. I’m comfortable working across AWS and GCP (Glue, Redshift, Athena, BigQuery, Vertex AI) and streaming/batch architectures with Kafka and Airflow/PySpark to deliver trustworthy data and measurable model performance.
