What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on data engineering role building scalable, secure cloud data platforms (Azure) with strong CI/CD, observability, and collaborative product-focused teams.

I am a Senior Azure Data Engineer with over 10 years of IT experience designing, developing, and managing ETL/ELT solutions for Banking, Healthcare, and Financial domains.

I build cloud-native data platforms using Azure Data Factory, Azure Databricks, ADLS Gen2, Delta Lake (medallion architecture), Synapse, and Azure Key Vault, focusing on scalable, secure, and automated data pipelines.

My hands-on work includes PySpark development, job orchestration, CI/CD with GitHub Actions, performance tuning, and implementing data governance and monitoring with Azure Monitor and Log Analytics.

I have a strong foundation in relational and NoSQL databases, mainframe data processing earlier in my career, and a proven track record of improving performance, reducing processing time, and enabling high-quality analytics.
