I specialize in cloud data warehouse migrations, especially modernizing legacy Redshift and ETL environments into scalable Databricks Lakehouse and dbt-based Medallion architectures. I have led data engineering initiatives that improved performance, reduced downtime, and strengthened reliability for global teams across the US and Europe. I also bring strong experience in database administration, BI development, orchestration with Apache Airflow, and cloud operations across AWS and Azure. In my day-to-day work, I use AI-assisted development workflows such as Claude AI, Cursor IDE, and GitHub Copilot to accelerate SQL, dbt, testing, and documentation tasks. I am focused on delivering secure, scalable, and cost-efficient data solutions that enable better decision-making and measurable business impact. ## Skills 35 capabilities[Apache Airflow](https://jobicy.com/talent/apache-airflow.md)[AWS](https://jobicy.com/talent/aws.md)[Azure](https://jobicy.com/talent/azure.md)[Azure Data Factory](https://jobicy.com/talent/azure-data-factory.md)[Backup And Recovery](https://jobicy.com/talent/backup-and-recovery.md)[Business Intelligence](https://jobicy.com/talent/business-intelligence.md)[CI CD](https://jobicy.com/talent/ci-cd.md)[Cloud Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/cloud-architecture.md)[Data Engineering](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-engineering.md)[Data Migration](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-migration.md)[Data Modeling](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-modeling.md)[Data Quality](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-quality.md)[Data Warehousing](https://jobicy.com/talent/data-warehousing.md)[Database Administration](https://jobicy.com/talent/database-administration.md)[Databricks](https://jobicy.com/talent/databricks.md)[DAX](https://jobicy.com/talent/dax.md)[DBT](https://jobicy.com/talent/dbt.md)[Disaster Recovery](https://jobicy.com/talent/disaster-recovery.md)[ELT](https://jobicy.com/talent/elt.md)[ETL](https://jobicy.com/talent/etl.md)[Medallion Architecture](https://jobicy.com/talent/medallion-architecture.md)[MySQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/mysql.md)[Oracle](https://jobicy.com/talent/oracle.md)[Performance Tuning](https://jobicy.com/talent/performance-tuning.md)[PostgreSQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/postgresql.md)[Power BI](https://jobicy.com/talent/power-bi.md)[Prompt Engineering](https://jobicy.com/talent/prompt-engineering.md)[Python](https://jobicy.com/talent/python.md)[Redshift](https://jobicy.com/talent/redshift.md)[Snowflake](https://jobicy.com/talent/snowflake.md)[SQL](https://jobicy.com/talent/sql.md)[SQL Server](https://jobicy.com/talent/sql-server.md)[SSIS](https://jobicy.com/talent/ssis.md)[Synapse](https://jobicy.com/talent/synapse.md)[Tableau](https://jobicy.com/talent/tableau.md) ## Tech stack & tools Working toolkit ### Development [![Image](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/devicons/devicon@master/icons/git/git-original.svg) Git](https://jobicy.com/talent?tool=git.md) ## Experience Career history ### Data Engineer · SoFi Oct 2024 – PresentLed an end-to-end migration of Amazon Redshift workloads to Databricks Lakehouse, re-architecting legacy ETL pipelines into modular dbt projects following Medallion layers.
