I’m a senior Azure Cloud Engineer and Databricks Platform Specialist with 18+ years of experience building and operating enterprise cloud infrastructure, with 4+ years dedicated specifically to Azure. I design and administer Azure data platform infrastructure, with deep hands-on expertise across Terraform-based provisioning, ADLS Gen2, and Azure Data Factory platform operations, while also managing Databricks governance and operational controls. In particular, I focus on Databricks platform administration—Unity Catalog, SCIM, identity federation, and cluster policies—along with diagnosing Spark and SQL performance or reliability issues at the cluster and platform level. I collaborate closely with data engineering and data science teams to define platform standards and reference architectures, and I enjoy automating platform operations using Python and CI/CD practices with Azure DevOps and GitHub. I’m open to remote contract opportunities.
