What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters innovation and growth, where I can leverage my extensive experience in cloud solutions and data engineering.

With over 23 years of experience in Cloud Services and IT Infrastructure Management, I have developed a robust skill set that includes ITIL certification and expertise in project management, presales activities, and disaster recovery. My journey has been marked by significant achievements, such as designing and implementing data pipelines in Snowflake, which improved data processing efficiency by 40% and reduced query time by 30%.

I have successfully led teams of up to 35 members, delivering large-scale projects that involve cloud infrastructure setup and automation using Kubernetes and Docker. My experience spans across various industries, including banking, where I have proposed and executed solutions for data warehousing and cloud transformation. I am passionate about leveraging AI/ML technologies to drive business insights and improve decision-making processes.
