What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead enterprise-scale cloud data, lakehouse, streaming, governance, and MLOps initiatives while mentoring data engineering and architecture teams.

At dbt labs, I architect enterprise lakehouse platforms with Databricks, Snowflake, Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, and Microsoft Fabric. I modernize legacy ETL into cloud-native ELT systems handling multi-terabyte daily workloads and build real-time pipelines with Kafka, Spark Streaming, Flink, and Debezium.

Over 13+ years across Weights & Biases, Upsolver, and Tamr, I’ve delivered data platforms, warehouses, governance frameworks, analytics, and MLOps solutions across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I lead global teams, establish DataOps and infrastructure-as-code standards, and design scalable architectures supporting billions of records and petabyte-scale workloads.
