About

Professional summary

I am a Staff Data Engineer with more than 12 years of experience building large-scale data platforms, distributed systems, and cloud-based data solutions. I specialize in architecting reliable, enterprise-grade systems for high-volume data workloads.

I build and optimize batch and real-time streaming pipelines using Apache Spark, Scala, Kafka, SQL, and the Hadoop ecosystem. My work includes ETL/ELT framework design, data lake architecture, distributed processing, data modeling, and pipeline performance optimization.

I have extensive experience improving Spark workloads through partitioning, caching, and distributed-computing best practices. I focus on making data pipelines scalable, maintainable, reliable, and efficient for production environments.

I work across AWS and Azure environments and use Docker, Kubernetes, and Helm to support cloud-native data platforms. I also develop backend and microservice solutions with Scala technologies such as Play Framework and HTTP4s.

I provide technical leadership through architecture discussions, code reviews, troubleshooting, engineering standards, and mentoring. I enjoy collaborating with data scientists, engineers, architects, and product teams to solve complex data challenges.

Career history

Staff Data Engineer / Senior Software Engineer, Data Teladoc Health

I design and develop scalable big-data platforms and distributed data-processing solutions for enterprise healthcare applications. I build high-volume batch and streaming pipelines using Apache Spark, Scala, Kafka, and SQL, while architecting reliable ETL/ELT workflows for healthcare datasets.

I improve pipeline performance through Spark optimization, partitioning strategies, caching, and distributed-computing practices. I develop reusable processing frameworks and cloud-based solutions using AWS, Azure, Docker, and Kubernetes, and provide technical leadership through architecture discussions, code reviews, troubleshooting, and engineering best practices.

I also design cloud data architectures and distributed workflows in Scala and Apache Spark. I build backend and microservice-based applications with Play Framework and HTTP4s, create reusable service templates, and collaborate with engineering teams to improve scalability, reliability, and performance.

Senior Data Engineer / Data Architect YOSS

Designed and implemented scalable data architecture solutions for cloud-based applications.
Developed distributed data processing workflows using Scala and Apache Spark.
Built backend services and microservice-based applications using Play Framework, HTTP4s, and modern Scala technologies.
Created reusable service templates and engineering patterns to improve application scalability.
Developed Spark-based data processing solutions demonstrating large-scale analytics workflows.
Implemented containerized applications using Docker and Kubernetes.
Collaborated with engineering teams to improve system reliability, scalability, and performance.

Senior Data Engineer SpendHQ

I built enterprise-scale data lake and ETL pipelines supporting spend analytics platforms. I developed large-scale processing applications using Apache Spark and Scala and designed data-ingestion and transformation workflows using Kafka, Hive, HDFS, and Cassandra.

I optimized distributed processing jobs to improve performance, reliability, and scalability. I delivered solutions for both cloud and on-premise environments and developed reusable Spark examples and engineering patterns for large-scale analytics processing.

Engineering Lead / Software Engineer III / Software Engineer II / Software Engineer I CareerBuilder

I progressed from Software Engineer to Engineering Lead while delivering scalable backend and data-intensive solutions for recruitment technology platforms. I led engineering initiatives, provided technical direction, and designed high-volume backend services using Java, Scala, and SQL.

I improved data quality and processing efficiency by optimizing profile-identification and data workflows. I introduced Scala development practices, created reusable microservice templates, and helped modernize engineering processes.

I delivered internal training on distributed computing, Apache Spark architecture, and big-data processing. I also conducted Apache Spark workshops covering Spark development, data processing, and machine-learning workflows.
