What I'm looking for

I seek a senior data architecture role where I can lead cloud migrations, build scalable ETL and real-time pipelines, enforce data governance, and mentor teams while driving measurable business impact.

I am a results-driven Senior Data Solution Architect with over 11 years of experience designing, developing, and optimizing scalable data solutions across cloud platforms. I specialize in ETL pipelines, big data processing, data warehousing methodologies, and real-time streaming architectures.

Throughout my career I have led migrations to AWS, Azure, and GCP, implemented Databricks Lakehouse and Snowflake solutions, and integrated machine learning models into operational workflows to improve predictive analytics. I have a strong focus on data governance, regulatory compliance (HIPAA, GDPR), and maintaining data quality and metadata management.

I combine deep technical expertise in tools like Talend, Apache NiFi, Airflow, Hadoop, Spark, Kafka, and Databricks with DevOps practices (Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD) and data visualization (Tableau, Power BI) to deliver actionable business insights and mentor cross-functional teams.
