What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building cloud-native data platforms where I can lead modernizations, reduce technical debt, and scale reliable analytics and ML pipelines.

I am a Staff Data Engineer and consultant with 16+ years of progressive experience designing and delivering large-scale data platforms across AWS, Azure, GCP and Databricks. Over the past eight years I have led cloud migrations, modernized architectures, and implemented automated, production-grade data pipelines supporting critical business domains.

I specialize in data architecture, ETL/ELT pipeline design, and operationalizing data platforms using tools such as Spark, Glue, EMR, Airflow and Redshift. I have driven migrations from legacy tools to modern managed services, reduced technical debt, and implemented monitoring and incident-response integrations to enable 24/7 reliability.

I partner with engineering and business leadership to prioritize technical improvements, empower teams through process and tooling, and deliver actionable analytics and reporting at enterprise scale. My work emphasizes scalability, data quality, and automation to support high-throughput analytics and ML use cases.
