I am a data professional with a proven track record in decommissioning legacy systems and migrating data to cloud platforms. I specialize in leveraging Snowflake and AWS to deliver scalable, reliable data migrations while preserving data integrity. Over the past five years, I have designed and implemented end-to-end data pipelines, migrated on-prem ETLs to cloud environments (GCP/AWS), optimized performance, and collaborated with product and business teams to derive actionable insights. I enjoy solving complex data problems and communicating technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
