What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building secure, compliant cloud data platforms and Lakehouses, with ownership of architecture, MLOps, and cross-functional mentorship in collaborative, privacy-first organizations.

I am a Senior Data Engineer and Data Architect with 9+ years designing, building, and scaling enterprise-grade data platforms across Healthcare, Finance, and SaaS. I specialize in cloud-native architectures on AWS, Azure, and GCP with deep expertise in Snowflake, Databricks, and Lakehouse designs.

I have led end-to-end architecture and implementation of HIPAA-, GDPR-, CCPA-, and SOC 2-compliant platforms, built real-time and batch pipelines using Kafka, Spark Streaming, Kinesis, and Event Hubs, and implemented MLOps with MLflow, SageMaker, and Databricks. My work has reduced analytics latency by 45%, accelerated model deployment cycles by 60%, and cut cloud compute and storage costs by 30–40%.

I provide architecture-level ownership, cross-functional leadership, and mentorship to engineering teams, delivering secure, governed, cost-optimized, and high-performance data solutions that turn complex data into actionable intelligence.
