I build scalable cloud data platforms and reliable real-time pipelines across regulated industries.
What I'm looking for
At Alizatech, I lead data engineering initiatives across healthcare, FinTech, banking, and insurance, turning business requirements into scalable architectures, data products, and operational pipelines.
I build cloud lakehouse and warehouse platforms with AWS, Databricks, Delta Lake, Snowflake, Python, SQL, and PySpark. My work includes batch and real-time processing for clinical, claims, payments, transactions, policy, and underwriting data, with strong controls for governance, security, lineage, and PII/PHI protection.
Previously at Evolv and Molina Healthcare, I delivered Azure and Hadoop-based data solutions, dimensional models, Airflow workflows, Kafka pipelines, and governed reporting datasets. I also lead reviews, troubleshoot production systems, optimize Spark and SQL workloads, and mentor engineers on data quality and engineering standards.
