What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles building scalable, cloud-native data platforms where I can lead architecture, automate pipelines, collaborate with product/sales, and deliver measurable business impact.

I am an accomplished Data Engineering Lead and Solution Architect with over 9 years of experience designing scalable data solutions, building robust data pipelines, and leading cross-functional teams. I specialize in cloud platform integration, real-time data streaming, ETL/ELT automation, and DataOps to deliver high-performance analytics.

I have hands-on expertise with Snowflake, Python, SQL, AWS, Kafka, Terraform, Ansible, Airflow, and CI/CD tooling, and I have built low-code ML platforms to accelerate model deployment and business insights. I have led projects that reduced support tickets by 30%, cut third-party costs by 42%, and improved deployment velocity for ML models.

I excel at presales engineering, technical documentation, and translating complex architectures into business value for stakeholders, and I enjoy collaborating with sales and senior leadership to deliver tailored, production-ready solutions that drive measurable outcomes.
