I build governed Azure lakehouses and reliable healthcare data pipelines at scale.
GermanyWhat I'm looking for
At OPTUM (UnitedHealth Group), I've built and operated Azure Databricks lakehouses for healthcare claims, member, provider, payment, eligibility and partner-API data.
I own data platforms end to end, from batch, streaming, file and API ingestion through PySpark, Delta Lake, dbt Core modelling, testing, CI/CD and Power BI analytics. My work applies medallion architecture, Unity Catalog governance, data contracts, CDC, SCD Type 2 history and replay-safe pipeline design.
I've also led a five-person engineering team, translated finance and product requirements into technical designs, and bring earlier ETL and warehouse delivery experience from banking and insurance projects at Tech Mahindra.
