United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am an AWS and GCP-focused Data Engineer with over 8 years of experience in building and optimizing data pipelines across both cloud and on-prem environments. My expertise lies in leveraging technologies such as Python, SQL, and big-data frameworks like Spark and Hadoop, combined with modern services in AWS and Google Cloud, to drive cost reductions, accelerate delivery, and unlock valuable data insights.
Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams and implemented innovative solutions that significantly improved operational efficiency. For instance, at PADI Worldwide, I automated Salesforce backups, reducing manual effort by 80%, and migrated SQL Server procedures to AWS, cutting runtimes by 90%. My work has consistently focused on enhancing data quality and streamlining processes, as evidenced by my contributions at Walmart and Wells Fargo, where I improved data load performance and established robust data management practices.
