What I'm looking for

I seek senior analytics/architecture roles where I can lead end-to-end AI/ML and data engineering initiatives, mentor teams, and deliver cost-efficient, operationally impactful solutions.

I am an analytics engineering leader with deep expertise in data engineering, machine learning, ETL processes, and enterprise architecture, skilled in Python, SQL, TensorFlow, Airflow, Snowflake, and PostgreSQL. I design and implement full-stack solutions that translate data into operational decisions and measurable business value.

I have built and owned production systems end-to-end, including an Asset Assignment Recommendation Engine and automated Snowflake pipelines supporting dashboards, reporting, and master data management. My work on AI/ML applications informed major contracts and reduced manual processes while improving accuracy and customer satisfaction.

I combine hands-on development, infrastructure management, and team leadership to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions—managing cloud/colocation environments, mentoring teams, and applying pragmatic SDLC practices to accelerate delivery and reduce costs.
