About

Professional summary

I am a data engineering leader with more than 14 years of experience designing, modernizing, and scaling enterprise data platforms across AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Azure, and hybrid environments.

I combine hands-on engineering, data architecture, technical leadership, mentoring, and client engagement. My work includes cloud migrations, ETL/ELT development, data modeling, data warehouses, APIs, and executive-facing analytics.

I have led modernization initiatives that move legacy and on-premises data environments to cloud platforms. I build maintainable data models, migration patterns, automated delivery workflows, and reliable operational processes.

I work extensively with SQL, Python, dbt, PySpark, Terraform, and cloud-native data services. I have built scalable relational and NoSQL data solutions, reporting platforms, dashboards, and transformation pipelines.

I partner with business stakeholders, analysts, actuaries, and senior management to translate requirements into production solutions and decision-support insights. I have improved marketing-source processing by approximately 90% while improving data quality.

I also provide technical direction for engineering teams, train engineers during cloud transitions, and support enterprise delivery through collaborative GitHub, GitLab, CI/CD, and Linux-based development practices.
