I am a seasoned Staff Data Engineer with over 15 years of hands-on experience in designing, building, and scaling data solutions that power decision-making and drive business growth. My expertise spans leading high-impact teams, architecting robust data pipelines, and applying cutting-edge technologies to solve complex problems.
I have served as a technical reviewer for O’Reilly publications, peer reviewer for IEEE conferences, and have authored four IEEE papers. My contributions to the industry include a patent on boosting Spark job performance using machine learning, and thought leadership through blogging and technical talks.
Beyond technical delivery, I am passionate about mentoring emerging engineers, fostering collaborative team environments, and championing innovative solutions that create measurable impact. I believe in using data not just to inform, but to inspire — turning raw information into opportunities that transform products, processes, and people.
