What I'm looking for

I seek a senior data engineering role building scalable cloud data platforms, emphasizing automation, governance, and real-time analytics in collaborative teams.

I am a seasoned Data Engineer with eight years of progressive experience designing, developing, and optimizing large-scale data platforms and cloud-based analytics systems.

I specialize in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), Snowflake, Databricks, and big data frameworks such as Spark, Kafka, and Hadoop, and I build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and lakehouse architectures that improve analytics speed and data quality.

At Tech Nova Analytics I architected a Snowflake data warehouse, implemented Delta Lake workflows, automated monitoring, led cloud migrations, and mentored junior engineers — delivering reliable, high-performance data solutions across business functions.

I am passionate about data governance, real-time customer analytics (Adobe Experience Platform), and driving continuous improvement through automation, observability, and collaboration to enable better business decisions.
