What I'm looking for

I’m seeking data engineering or analytics roles to own ETL/pipelines, build datamarts and BI, collaborate with stakeholders, and apply LLM/agentic AI in a growth-focused team.

I am a data engineer with over six years building reliable ETL pipelines, datamarts, and BI solutions that serve analytics and business stakeholders. I have led end-to-end ingestion and transformation work, tuned nightly jobs from 7 hours to 30 minutes, and automated reporting to reduce manual accounting effort.

I have managed analytics engineering teams and built 35+ dbt models, Power BI dashboards, and proactive data-quality checks while collaborating closely with pharmacy, revenue, and clinical teams. I am currently upskilling in LLMs and agentic AI and seek opportunities to apply modern ML/AI tools to improve data products and business outcomes.
