Senior Data Engineer specializing in Azure & Microsoft Fabric ETL/ELT and real-time analytics.
LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-oriented Senior Data Engineer with 6+ years of experience designing and implementing cloud-native data platforms on Azure and Microsoft Fabric. I translate business requirements into scalable, production-grade ETL/ELT and analytics solutions.
I specialize in end-to-end ETL/ELT architectures, Medallion Lakehouse design, real-time analytics, and performance optimization. I’ve delivered measurable impact, including reducing query time from 12+ hours to 10 minutes through SQL optimization and building governed, traceable data pipelines.
Across my consulting roles, I’ve supported clients from assessment to delivery—leading data governance and privacy tool assessments, gathering requirements in workshops, and documenting actionable next steps. I also built a Python-based data profiling and lineage tracking application to support governance initiatives.
Currently, I’m expanding into Microsoft Fabric Real-Time Intelligence, AI-powered analytics, and Copilot Studio—building an end-to-end Real-Time Intelligence sandbox with Event Hubs → Eventstream → Eventhouse (KQL) → real-time dashboards. I enjoy mentoring cross-functional teams and contributing reusable templates across Fabric components to accelerate delivery.
