What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable streaming and batch data platforms, collaborative teams, cloud-native tooling, opportunities to mentor, and projects with measurable business impact.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with more than ten years of hands-on experience in Big Data technologies, fluent in Scala, Java and Python, and experienced in building end-to-end data pipelines using Spark, Flink, Storm, Beam and Kafka.
