What I'm looking for

I seek a hands-on leadership role building secure, scalable cloud data platforms where I can drive architecture, mentor teams, and enable analytics/ML.

I am a Senior Data Engineer and Data Platform Architect with 11+ years designing, building, and modernizing scalable cloud-based data ecosystems across AWS and Azure. I combine hands-on engineering in Spark, Python, SQL, Databricks, and Snowflake with architecture-level ownership to deliver production-ready data platforms.

My work has included end-to-end dataplatform design, ETL/ELT pipeline development, infrastructure-as-code with Terraform, cloud cost and performance optimization, and enforcing security and governance for sensitive datasets. I drive reliability and performance for analytics, ML, and reporting workloads while mentoring engineers and collaborating with cross-functional teams.

I hold multiple cloud and data engineering certifications and a B.S. in Computer Science, and I focus on delivering high-performance, secure, and cost-effective data solutions that enable analytics and AI initiatives.
