What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles where I can design cloud-native lakehouse and streaming platforms, lead data governance and MLOps initiatives, mentor teams, and deliver compliant, cost-efficient solutions that accelerate analytics and AI adoption.

I am a Senior Data Architect with 12+ years designing cloud-native data platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP, focused on lakehouse and ELT architectures, streaming pipelines, and governed analytics using Databricks, Snowflake, Kafka, and dbt.

I have driven measurable outcomes—boosting analytics efficiency, cutting platform costs, and ensuring high availability for production pipelines—while enabling AI/ML workflows and HIPAA/GDPR-compliant data solutions in healthcare, insurance, and finance.

I lead technical strategy, promote data mesh and governance, and mentor cross-functional teams to deliver reliable, observable, and secure data platforms that accelerate insights and model deployment.
