What I'm looking for

I seek senior engineering roles building scalable cloud data platforms, emphasizing Azure, lakehouse architectures, end-to-end ETL/ELT, performance optimization, and cross-functional collaboration.

I am a certified Azure Data Platform Engineer and experienced .NET backend developer with deep expertise in data engineering, architecture, and analytics. I have led cloud migrations, designed high-performance data warehouses, and built ETL/ELT and lakehouse solutions processing billions of records.

My work blends cloud-native C#/.NET development with PySpark, Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Synapse and Unity Catalog to deliver reliable, cost-optimized data platforms. I have implemented CI/CD, automated infrastructure, and improved performance of large transactional and analytical systems.

I partner closely with stakeholders to translate complex business and risk requirements into production systems—delivering value across financial services, trading, commodities, and media streaming platforms.
