Senior Data Engineer delivering scalable, compliant cloud data platforms and reliable ETL pipelines.
What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years of experience building cloud-first data platforms across healthcare, fintech, and retail domains. I specialize in designing and operating ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehouses, and streaming solutions to enable reliable analytics and AI-driven use cases.
I have hands-on experience migrating on-premises systems to AWS and Azure, implementing governance and access controls for sensitive healthcare and financial data, and improving observability to reduce downtime and recurring production issues.
At Endex I built high-throughput pipelines processing 100K+ unstructured financial documents per month, implemented vector search and semantic retrieval, and achieved 99.9%+ data accuracy through validation and monitoring. I also helped scale platforms to support a 5× increase in users while optimizing cloud costs.
I bring practical experience with Snowflake, Azure SQL, Python, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and data observability practices, and I enjoy partnering with product and business teams to deliver cost-aware, production-ready data solutions that support analytics and ML initiatives.
