Senior data engineer building AWS-native HIPAA-compliant lakehouses and real-time streaming platforms to accelerate analytics.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data Engineer with 10+ years of experience building scalable data platforms in fast-paced SaaS and healthcare environments. At Amazon OneMedical, I designed a HIPAA-compliant data lakehouse on Amazon S3, AWS Lake Formation, Apache Iceberg, and AWS Glue—cutting analytics query time by 50% while enabling a 360° patient view for care coordination.
I also delivered serverless, event-driven ingestion and CDC with AWS Lambda, FHIR R4, Amazon DMS, and EventBridge, ingesting 10M+ daily records with 99.9% uptime. I built dbt-powered transformation and quality layers (star-schema marts, anomaly detection, and Great Expectations) to reduce report times from hours to minutes and critical data delays from 2 hours to 5 minutes, and I led/mentored a team of 5 using Scrum to reduce production incidents by 30%.
