What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build cloud lakehouse and real-time data platforms where data quality, HIPAA/GDPR governance, and FinOps optimization are non-negotiable. I want to translate business ambiguity into scalable architectures, mentor teams, and ship reliable CI/CD-enabled data products.

I’m a Staff Data Engineer and Solutions Architect with 10+ years of hands-on experience designing and delivering enterprise-grade data platforms across healthcare, finance, and technology. I lead complex migrations from on-premise Hadoop ecosystems to modern Cloud Lakehouses (AWS, Azure, GCP), architecting high-throughput ETL/ELT pipelines and real-time streaming systems.

I focus on data quality, governance (HIPAA/GDPR), and FinOps optimization to maximize ROI. I’ve designed scalable Data Mesh approaches, real-time CDC pipelines, and lakehouse architectures that support enterprise analytics and AI/ML workloads—backed by strong lineage and metadata frameworks.

In healthcare, I work confidently with standards like HL7, FHIR, and C0-CDA, including clinical data mapping and EHR integrations. I’ve built FHIR-compliant data connectors to normalize HL7/C-CDA messages into standardized clinical datasets mapped to ICD-10, CPT, LOINC, and RxNorm.

I’m also a technical leader who bridges strategy with execution, translating ambiguous business requirements into scalable, future-ready data architectures. I mentor cross-functional engineering teams, drive CI/CD adoption, and deliver analytics-ready, AI/ML-enabled data products that reduce operational cost and accelerate decision-making.
