About

I am a data professional with a strong background in cloud technologies, data engineering, and business intelligence. With expertise in AWS and Google Cloud Platform (GCP), I design and manage scalable data infrastructures that enable organizations to leverage cloud solutions for storage, processing, and analytics.

My work spans data lakes, data mesh, and data governance. I focus on building reliable, scalable, and secure architectures that empower data-driven decision making. I am proficient in Python for automating workflows, ETL pipelines, and analytics, and I frequently work with Databricks for big data processing and ML tasks. I also collaborate on BI, analytics, and governance to turn complex datasets into actionable insights, ensuring data is accessible, governed, and aligned with business goals.
