What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable data platforms and ETL pipelines in Agile teams, with opportunities for learning, cloud-native tooling, and impact on analytics.

I am a results-driven Data Engineer with strong experience in data engineering, backend development and data warehousing, working extensively with Azure, Red Hat OpenShift and CI/CD pipelines.

I have delivered data solutions across public and private sectors, building ETL pipelines, archival processes and self-service reporting using tools like Azure Data Factory, SSIS, Power BI and Tableau.

My background includes implementing data virtualization and APIs, contributing to routing services, and using technologies such as Java, Kotlin, Oracle and MongoDB, while maintaining code quality with SonarQube and observability with Splunk.

I thrive in Agile environments, focus on continuous learning (Red Hat and Microsoft trainings), and enjoy translating business needs into scalable, maintainable data solutions.
