What I'm looking for

I am seeking senior data engineering roles focused on building secure, compliant AWS data platforms, real-time pipelines, and mentoring teams in high-availability environments.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with deep experience designing and operating secure, production-grade data platforms across healthcare, financial services, and enterprise domains.

I build event-driven and batch pipelines on AWS, implementing Lakehouse and warehouse solutions with Snowflake, Redshift, S3, EMR, and Delta Lake while ensuring HIPAA and PCI-aligned governance.

I automate infrastructure and CI/CD using Terraform and AWS-native tooling, deliver low-latency streaming with Kafka and Kinesis, and strengthen reliability with monitoring, alerting, and disaster-recovery controls.

I mentor engineers, lead design discussions, and partner cross-functionally to align data architectures with business goals, drive performance tuning, and promote reusable frameworks and documentation.
