Airflow-certified Data Engineer specializing in scalable ETL, cloud pipelines, and analytics.
I am an Airflow-certified Data Engineer with over eight years of experience building scalable ETL pipelines, data integrations, and analytics solutions for healthcare, retail, and e-commerce clients.
I have delivered end-to-end data solutions including RAG-enabled pipelines, EDI parsers, and large-scale ETL modernizations using tools such as Databricks, Snowflake, Airflow, and Redshift.
I have led teams and projects—most recently managing a 16-member analyst group within a 34-person analytics organization—overseeing sprint execution, stakeholder communication, and delivery for 90+ US healthcare clients.
I combine strong programming (Python, SQL, Scala), cloud and DevOps experience (AWS, Docker, Git), and BI skills (Tableau, PowerBI) with a pragmatic, results-driven approach to reduce manual work, improve efficiency, and produce actionable insights.
