About

I'm a Senior Data Engineer with 4+ years of experience building and operating production-grade data pipelines on Azure and GCP. My focus is on Databricks (PySpark, Spark SQL), Azure Data Factory, Delta Lake, and lakehouse architecture — delivering reliable, analytics-ready data at scale. At Takeda, I maintain Databricks pipelines processing 10+ TB of enterprise data daily, having reduced end-to-end pipeline runtime by 25–30% and cut data quality issues by 40% through incremental processing and validation frameworks. I keep pipeline availability above 99% for business-critical reporting systems. At Accenture (also supporting Takeda), I designed bronze → silver → gold lakehouse models with dimensional schemas that reduced analytical query latency by 30%. At IBM, I built SQL and Python ETL workflows ingesting 1–2 TB/day from 6–8 source systems, cutting manual data correction effort by 25% and achieving 98% accuracy during legacy migration cycles. Core stack: Azure Databricks · Azure Data Factory · PySpark · Spark SQL · Delta Lake · Azure Synapse · ADLS · GCP BigQuery · Python · SQL · Power BI · Git · CI/CD. Certified: Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer · Google Cloud Digital Leader · Data Science & AI (BIA, Grade A). I am actively open to relocate to the Netherlands and will require visa sponsorship. I'm aware of the IND highly skilled migrant route and am ready to move quickly once an offer is confirmed. Open to Senior Data Engineer and Azure/Cloud Data Platform roles in the Netherlands. Feel free to message me directly — I respond quickly.
