I seek senior roles building scalable, compliant cloud data platforms where I can lead architecture, enable self-service analytics, mentor teams, and drive measurable impact through reliable ETL/real-time pipelines.

I am a Senior Data Engineer and Data Architect with 10+ years designing, building, and operating scalable data platforms across cloud environments. I specialize in healthcare data integration, ETL/ELT pipeline engineering, and lakehouse and data warehouse architectures that meet HIPAA and enterprise governance standards.
