I’m a cloud platform and data infrastructure engineer specializing in enterprise-scale Microsoft Azure Data & AI platforms. I design, automate, and operate secure, governed data environments—often centered on Azure Databricks (Unity Catalog), ADLS Gen2, ADF-driven ingestion, and scalable Spark/SQL workloads. I’ve built platform standards and governance frameworks for large organizations, enforced least-privilege access and compliance using Entra ID/RBAC plus tools like Purview, and automated environment provisioning and delivery with Terraform/Bicep integrated into CI/CD pipelines. Throughout my career, I’ve focused on reliability, performance tuning, and cost-aware operations so data products can scale across teams and domains.
