What I'm looking for

I seek a data-focused role building scalable, governed cloud data platforms where I can optimize pipelines, reduce costs, mentor teammates, and drive reliable analytics delivery.

I am a data engineer with extensive hands-on experience building cloud-native data platforms focused on governance, reliability, and cost optimization. I design end-to-end pipelines and automation solutions using AWS services, PySpark, and orchestration tools to deliver dependable analytics-ready data.

At Principal Global Services I implemented config-driven cross-account data sharing with AWS Lake Formation, replaced Glue Crawler with PySpark to cut monthly AWS costs by 20%, and built SCD2 loads, Step Functions workflows, and alerting automations that streamlined operations across 20+ datasets.

Previously at Accenture I re-platformed credit-risk ETL from on-prem SAS to AWS, built fault-tolerant Airflow pipelines, introduced cost controls for EMR usage, and developed reconciliation tooling and data-quality frameworks—mentoring teammates and improving operational efficiency throughout.
