What I'm looking for

I seek a senior engineering role building scalable cloud data platforms and real-time pipelines, with opportunities to mentor, improve performance, and drive data-driven business outcomes.

I am a Senior Data Engineer with over 7 years' experience designing and optimizing large-scale, high-performance data systems across AWS, Azure, and GCP, delivering real-time and batch pipelines, lakehouse architectures, and ETL/ELT frameworks that produce measurable business value.

I have a proven record improving query and pipeline performance, reducing latency and costs, and deploying ML-driven solutions for trade surveillance and anomaly detection. I mentor junior engineers, lead cross-functional initiatives, and automate CI/CD and infrastructure to ensure reliable, scalable analytics platforms.
