What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role driving cloud data platform modernization, hands-on architecture and team scaling in an Agile, security-conscious environment.

I am a results-driven Lead Data Engineer with 7+ years of experience building and migrating cloud data platforms across Azure and Google Cloud. I specialize in data architecture, ETL/ELT pipeline design, DevOps automation, and data governance, with a consistent record of delivering reliable, high-performance solutions.

My recent work includes leading a 4-engineer team to migrate an enterprise Data Platform from Azure to GCP in under nine months with zero downtime, and previously designing from-scratch Azure platforms that automated reporting and cut preparation time by over 90%. I scale teams, improve delivery velocity, and implement CI/CD and testing frameworks that drastically reduce incidents.

I hold specialized and engineering degrees in digital architecture and ICT, multiple cloud certifications (Azure & Google Cloud), and I bring a pragmatic, Agile-focused approach to solving complex data problems while ensuring security, cost efficiency, and stakeholder alignment.
