Available to hire
I’m a results-oriented Lead Data & Cloud Engineer with 12 years of IT experience, including 11+ years designing and deploying full-scale data pipelines and cloud-native architectures across AWS, GCP, Azure, and on-prem Hadoop ecosystems. I excel at building scalable, secure, and high-throughput solutions for real-time analytics and data modeling, and I lead cross-functional teams with a strong focus on governance and automated pipeline orchestration.
I’ve architected multi-cloud, AI-powered streaming platforms using Kafka, Flink, PySpark, and Beam; developed MLOps-friendly data products and LLM-powered solutions, and steered migrations from legacy on-prem systems to cloud-native platforms to optimize cost and performance.
