Susan Bataju

I am a Senior Data Engineer focused on designing and delivering Azure-native data platforms for large-scale, regulated healthcare environments. I build modern lakehouse architectures leveraging Azure Data Lake Storage Gen2, Azure Databricks, Delta Lake, and Snowflake to create governed analytics warehouses.

I develop scalable ELT pipelines using Azure Data Factory and dbt, and implement complex transformations in PySpark to produce trusted, analytics-ready datasets for clinical, financial, and operational reporting. I prioritize lineage, testability, and documentation to improve data discoverability and trust.

I lead CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code efforts with Azure DevOps, ARM/Bicep/Terraform, and automated deployment of data assets, while enforcing security and governance controls including Azure RBAC, Key Vault, Purview, private endpoints, and HIPAA compliance.

I have mentored engineers, driven cross-functional initiatives, and optimized Spark workloads and orchestration with Airflow to ensure resilient, high-performance pipelines. I seek to deliver production-grade, auditable analytics platforms that enable reliable decision-making across healthcare organizations.
