Victor Hayes

I’m a Senior Data Engineer with 7+ years of IT experience, including 5+ years in Azure Data Engineering and 4+ years in Big Data and Data Warehousing. I specialize in building scalable, secure, high-performance data solutions—designing end-to-end ingestion pipelines, governed lakehouse/warehouse architectures, and analytics-ready datasets. At ASML, I currently lead the end-to-end development of an Azure Databricks–Delta Lake platform, architecting large-scale ingestion pipelines and optimizing data lakehouse performance for high-frequency telemetry.

I’ve driven measurable outcomes across regulated industries by implementing Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold), Delta Live Tables, Unity Catalog, and Azure Purview governance. I’ve led multiple full-cycle Snowflake implementations, optimized costs by 20% while maintaining SLA commitments, and built sub-second streaming pipelines using Event Hubs and Azure Stream Analytics. I also integrate ML workflows with MLflow and Azure Machine Learning, deliver executive-grade Power BI reporting, and strengthen security/compliance with Key Vault, Entra ID, RBAC, encryption, and data masking.
