Senior Data Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and building scalable, production-grade data platforms across banking, healthcare, insurance, and financial services. I specialize in cloud-native data engineering on Azure Databricks and Snowflake, building batch and real-time pipelines with PySpark, Delta Lake, Kafka, and Airflow, and have deep, hands-on SQL performance-tuning expertise. At Huntington National Bank I engineer a Lakehouse platform processing 8TB+ of data daily, supporting fraud analytics, risk, and regulatory reporting, with feature engineering pipelines feeding 30+ ML models. I bring strong experience in Medallion architecture, data governance (Unity Catalog), data quality and observability frameworks, and CI/CD. I work fluently across Azure, AWS, and GCP, and I'm equally comfortable owning pipelines end-to-end or partnering with data science and business teams to turn complex requirements into reliable, analytics-ready data solutions.
