I build reliable cloud data platforms and lakehouse pipelines for healthcare, fintech, and SaaS.
What I'm looking for
I've built scalable data platforms for Rxvantage, Canvas Medical, Veryfi, and Rainforest QA, turning healthcare, financial, and product data into trusted analytics-ready products.
At Canvas Medical, I architected Databricks, Delta Lake, and AWS platforms for clinical intelligence and AI-ready data products. My batch and streaming pipelines using PySpark, Kafka, Airflow, and dbt improved processing performance by 60%+ while maintaining 99% data reliability and reducing cloud costs by 35%+.
At Veryfi, I built real-time pipelines for receipts, invoices, bank statements, expense reports, and financial transactions, supporting document processing, reconciliation, fraud analytics, RAG, and LLM-powered workflows.
I bring hands-on strength in Python, SQL, Spark, Kafka, Databricks, Snowflake, AWS, and Azure, alongside data governance, observability, and HIPAA-compliant engineering. I also lead architecture reviews, mentor engineers, and partner across product, clinical, analytics, and engineering teams to deliver reusable data products.
