What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, lineage-enabled data platforms with strong governance, AWS-based pipelines, stakeholder-driven analytics, and opportunities to lead compliance and performance improvements.

I am a data engineer with 5+ years of experience designing and delivering enterprise data warehouses, ETL frameworks, and lineage-enabled governance solutions. I focus on data modelling, change data capture (CDC), metadata management, and data quality frameworks to ensure reliable analytics and compliant reporting.

I have led projects building Customer Data Platforms, predictive reporting pipelines, and regulatory compliance warehouses, and I have migrated legacy workloads to AWS with performance optimizations and automated operations. I act as an SME for compliance and privacy initiatives, including designing redaction pipelines and lineage-enabled datasets for audit readiness.

I deliver stakeholder-focused solutions that improve forecasting, reduce manual effort, and enhance governance. I bring hands-on expertise in AWS, Spark, Snowflake/Redshift, Airflow/Glue, Python, and data modelling, and I prioritize scalable, validated pipelines with clear lineage and SLA-driven production support.
