What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable cloud-native data platforms and streaming/ELT pipelines, with strong engineering teams, automation, and opportunities to lead and enable ML/analytics.

I am a Senior Data Engineer and Data Architect with 9+ years building large-scale data ecosystems across finance, retail, and tech domains. I specialize in ETL/ELT design, data modeling, warehousing, real-time streaming, and big data pipelines using Spark, Kafka, Databricks, and Snowflake.

I've architected cloud-native solutions on AWS, Azure, and GCP, integrating Airflow, dbt, Terraform, and Kubernetes to automate and scale data platforms. I led migrations of legacy platforms to cloud, cutting costs by up to 40% while improving reliability and performance.

In hands-on roles I built streaming pipelines that reduced latency from 15s to under 3s, managed pipelines processing 100+ TB/day, and enabled real-time analytics for 1000+ users. I also deliver ML-ready feature stores and operationalize ML pipelines to empower data science and analytics teams.

I lead cross-functional data teams (5–10 engineers), drive data governance, security, and observability best practices, and focus on creating trusted data products and dashboards that inform executives, analysts, and engineers.
