What I'm looking for

I seek leadership roles driving cloud-native data platforms and Gen AI initiatives, where I can build teams, automate resilient data pipelines, and deliver scalable, cost-efficient solutions aligned to business goals.

I am an engineering manager with over 5 years leading data and cloud strategy initiatives, focused on building high-performing teams and aligning technical solutions with business objectives.

I have designed and implemented scalable, cloud-native data solutions on Microsoft Azure, improving ETL efficiency, system scalability, and cost efficiency while establishing data governance and compliance frameworks.

I led implementations of Azure OpenAI-based Gen AI solutions, including code conversion accelerators, AI-driven data profiling using RAG frameworks, and agentic orchestration to validate PySpark logic and automate QA.

I mentor engineers, drive automation and resilience in data pipelines, and foster cross-functional collaboration to enable data-driven decision-making and continuous technical excellence.
