Lead Data Engineer building scalable lakehouse and real-time data platforms.
What I'm looking for
I am a Lead Data Engineer with a decade of experience designing and delivering scalable data platforms, real-time streaming systems, and Lakehouse architectures that enable analytics and ML at enterprise scale. I have led cross-functional teams to modernize legacy systems, enforce governance and data quality, and reduce infrastructure costs while improving performance and reliability.
My work spans cloud and distributed environments—architecting platforms with Databricks, Snowflake, Spark, Kafka, and Kubernetes, and implementing validation, lineage, and observability frameworks that cut incidents and accelerate time-to-insight. I focus on secure, production-ready data products, mentorship, and operational excellence to drive data, AI, and business intelligence outcomes.
