I design and build reliable data platforms from ingestion and distributed processing to production-ready lakehouse and warehouse systems.
I’m a Senior Data Engineer with seven years of experience across insurance, gaming, financial services and healthcare. I have built batch and streaming pipelines, migrated large datasets, modeled analytics-ready data and automated cloud infrastructure across Azure, AWS and GCP.
I care most about what happens after a pipeline reaches production. Can it handle late data? Can it be rerun safely? Will a schema change be caught before it reaches a report? Can the team understand why it failed? Those questions shape how I design, test and operate data systems.
| Area | Technologies |
|---|---|
| Languages | Python, SQL, PySpark, Scala, Java, Bash |
| Processing & orchestration | Apache Spark, Databricks, Kafka, Airflow, Azure Data Factory, AWS Glue, Apache Beam |
| Lakehouse & warehouse | Delta Lake, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, Synapse Analytics, ADLS, Amazon S3, Parquet |
| Cloud | Microsoft Azure, AWS, Google Cloud |
| Platform & delivery | Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Git |
| Quality & operations | Data contracts, automated testing, idempotency, checkpointing, backfills, monitoring, lineage |
These projects show how I turn an idea into a working product and how I make engineering decisions around reliability, usability and delivery.
My flagship production project is a live platform built for the Kingdom 846 gaming community. I designed it to organize alliance information, guides and interactive voting in one responsive experience, then deployed and maintained it for real users.
In its first 19 days, the platform generated 3,298 pageviews from 596 visitors across 49 countries, averaging 4.4 pages per visit.

I built an end-to-end streaming pipeline that receives weblog events through Kafka, processes them with Spark Structured Streaming and writes reliable results to Delta Lake. It handles late, duplicate and malformed events through watermarks, bounded-state deduplication, checkpoints and a separate dead-letter path.

I used public NYC taxi data to build a bronze, silver and gold lakehouse pipeline in PySpark. The pipeline enforces schemas, quarantines invalid records instead of silently dropping them, supports safe reruns and uses a two-stage salted aggregation for high-volume zones.

I built a retail analytics warehouse with dbt and DuckDB, taking raw records through staging models into tested facts and dimensions. Monetary values stay precise, late-arriving orders are recovered through an incremental lookback and customer history is preserved with a Type 2 snapshot.

I created reusable Terraform modules for a layered S3 data lake, an AWS Glue catalog and a least-privilege pipeline role. The permissions deliberately prevent transformation jobs from rewriting raw source data, and the infrastructure can be tested without a live AWS account.

| Company | Role | Period |
|---|---|---|
| MetLife | Azure Data Engineer | Apr 2024 – Present |
| Epic Games | AWS Data Engineer | May 2023 – Mar 2024 |
| InCred Financial Services | GCP Data Engineer | Nov 2020 – Nov 2022 |
| Siemens Healthineers | Data Engineer | Oct 2018 – Oct 2020 |
My work has included cloud migrations, batch and streaming pipelines, warehouse performance tuning, infrastructure automation and reusable patterns for ingestion, CDC, deduplication and recovery. I have worked across the full delivery cycle, including design, code review, deployment and production support.

If your team is solving difficult data-platform problems, I’d be glad to hear what you’re building.
