What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead AI-enabled data engineering and architecture work—turning complex pipelines into trusted, production-ready systems, partnering with stakeholders, and modernizing delivery toward measurable efficiency and customer outcomes.

I’m a Senior Data Solution Architect focused on building reliable data engineering and AI/ML-driven systems, from ETL and data pipelines to enterprise architecture. I’ve pioneered AI/ML applications for $465M Cisco DOD contracts, improving cost, efficiency, and customer satisfaction through hands-on implementation, database tuning, and stakeholder advocacy.

Most recently, I served as a sole analytics engineer at Zensar Technologies, owning full-stack data solutions. I designed, developed, and maintained a production Asset Assignment Recommendation Engine using TensorFlow, Python (Pandas), SQL, Airflow, and PostgreSQL, and built automated Python/SQL pipelines in Snowflake to power Tableau dashboards, Excel reporting, and SharePoint-driven master data. I also used Claude Code daily to accelerate development, refactor ML models, and improve quality across operational workflows.

Earlier, as Solution Architect / CTO at SIBRIDGE Ltd., I led AI/ML-driven engine development for $465M Cisco DOD contracts and transformed manual inventory into precise automated recommendations using multiple data sources. I created and managed a Cisco portal delivering 360-degree asset/interaction visibility for 300+ users, reducing mis-assignments by 40%, and I managed colocation infrastructure that avoided $500,000 in cloud costs while keeping services responsive. Across roles since 2001, I’ve led developers/DBAs, delivered end-to-end architectures, and modernized delivery models with a trusted-advisor mindset.
