What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles leading cloud-native data platforms and streaming/lakehouse initiatives where I can drive data modernization, mentor teams, and optimize cost and compliance.

I am a Principal Data Engineer and Cloud Data Platform Architect with 10+ years designing and delivering large-scale, cloud-native data ecosystems across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in building streaming platforms, lakehouse architectures, and enterprise ETL/ELT frameworks that support analytics, AI, and regulatory workloads.

At Truveta I architected a real-time healthcare data platform ingesting HL7/FHIR, EMR/EHR, and IoT telemetry at billions of events per day, delivered a Databricks Lakehouse, and enforced HIPAA-compliant security and governance. My work enabled near-real-time clinical analytics and improved proactive interventions by 22% while achieving 99.8% data accuracy.

Previously at Alteryx and o9 Solutions I led multi-cloud data modernization, high-throughput streaming ingestion, and cost-optimization efforts, processing tens of billions of events and reducing infrastructure costs by up to 40%. I instituted ELT standards (dbt + Airflow), observability, and performance tuning to deliver reliable, high-performance analytics platforms.

I am known for mentoring teams, advising executives on data strategy and cloud governance, and translating business objectives into scalable, secure solutions for healthcare, finance, SaaS, and IoT domains. I seek roles where I can lead platform engineering, data modernization, and analytics enablement at enterprise scale.
