What I'm looking for

I seek a role building end-to-end data platforms and AI-integrated solutions with emphasis on automation, mentoring, and measurable business impact.

I am a data engineer with extensive experience designing end-to-end data solutions, databases, visualizations, and AI-powered applications for corporations, startups, and entrepreneurs. I build ETL/ELT pipelines, develop database solutions, and create dashboards that drive finance and operational insights.

I have a strong track record of optimizing processes — for example, reducing a monthly revenue projection runtime by over 50% and migrating SSIS workflows to Apache Airflow. I regularly leverage AI tools such as Gemini, CrewAI, Cursor and GitLab Duo to accelerate development, generate code, debug, and add natural language search capabilities using vector embeddings and LangChain.

I enjoy mentoring and knowledge sharing (mentored three interns who became permanent hires), automating repeatable, auditable processes in AWS Step Functions, and delivering production-ready data solutions that impact revenue and decision-making.
