About

I’m a Data Engineer focused on building and modernizing enterprise data platforms — with a strong interest in the architecture behind them, not just the pipelines that run on them. Over the years, I’ve worked across data engineering, platform engineering and cloud data ecosystems, designing solutions around data ingestion, processing, data quality, reconciliation, metadata, governance and observability. My core areas of interest include: • Databricks & Apache Spark • Snowflake & modern cloud data platforms • Kafka & streaming architectures • Data platform architecture and scalable data pipelines • DevOps, CI/CD and infrastructure automation • Data quality, governance and observability • GenAI and AI-ready data platforms I enjoy working on problems where the answer isn't simply “which technology should we use?” For me, good architecture starts with understanding the business problem, workload, scale, latency, governance requirements and operational trade-offs — and then choosing the right technology for the job. I'm particularly interested in building platforms that are scalable, reliable, governed and practical to operate, while creating a foundation for analytics and AI workloads. Currently, I'm continuing to deepen my expertise across Databricks, Spark, Snowflake, Kafka, cloud data engineering and GenAI, with a long-term focus on Principal Data Engineering and Data Platform Architecture.
