About

I lead data engineering teams and build enterprise-scale data platforms on Snowflake, AWS, and Databricks — having grown and managed teams from 3 to 20 engineers across Banking, Payments, Retail, Healthcare, and HR domains. ☁️ Snowflake My primary platform for governed, scalable data delivery. Expertise spans warehouse design, cost optimization, Clean Rooms (integrated with LiveRamp), Dynamic Masking, Row-Level Security, Data Metric Functions, and GenAI capabilities via Cortex, Cortex Agents, and Cortex Search. ⚙️ AWS Cloud-native data lake and pipeline architecture using S3, Glue, Lambda, Step Functions, Redshift, and EMR — with S3 lifecycle policies for cost-efficient data tiering across the full data lifecycle. 🔥 Databricks Large-scale Spark workloads, Delta Lake architecture, and real-time streaming pipelines for ML, feature engineering, and analytics at scale. 🔁 ETL & Data Integration End-to-end ETL/ELT design using Informatica, IICS, Talend, and Pentaho alongside modern cloud-native orchestration — covering both batch and real-time ingestion patterns. 📋 Data Management, Lineage & Governance Enterprise data management frameworks: RBAC, data contracts, row-level security, and end-to-end data lineage for full source-to-consumption traceability. Data quality enforced via Great Expectations, Soda Core, and Snowflake Data Metric Functions. 📊 Data Visualization Delivered self-serve analytics and executive dashboards connecting Snowflake and Databricks to Tableau, Power BI, and Snowflake-native analytics — enabling faster, data-driven decisions.
