What I'm looking for

I seek a senior data engineering role building scalable cloud-native ETL/Lakehouse solutions, with collaborative teams, strong engineering practices, and opportunities to modernize data platforms.

I am a Microsoft Certified Data Engineer with extensive experience designing scalable ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehouses, and Lakehouse architectures on Azure, AWS, and Microsoft Fabric.

I have a strong technical background in Python, SQL, PySpark, Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, and Medallion architecture, and I routinely optimize data pipelines to deliver analytics-ready datasets for BI and AI workloads.

In recent roles I implemented AWS Step Functions, Terraform IaC, dbt transformations in Snowflake, and modernized legacy ETL to cloud-native services, improving reliability, performance, and maintainability.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into production-grade data solutions and build interactive Power BI dashboards to drive stakeholder insights.
