What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build reliable, scalable data platforms and real-time analytics pipelines that support trusted decision-making, fraud analytics, revenue assurance, and business intelligence.

At Chime, I build real-time financial transaction pipelines with Apache Flink and Google Cloud Pub/Sub, processing nearly twelve million daily card events for fraud monitoring and risk analytics.

I develop governed lakehouse and ELT solutions using BigQuery, Trino, Apache Iceberg, Google Cloud Storage, and Great Expectations. My work has reduced reconciliation discrepancies by 24%, fraud analytics query times by nearly 29%, and reporting turnaround by 35%.

Previously at LTIMindtree, I built telecom ingestion, Spark, Databricks, dbt, Azure Synapse, and Delta Lake workflows supporting revenue assurance and customer analytics. I also automate production deployments and infrastructure with Airflow, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Git, and CI/CD.
