I help companies turn complex, messy data into reliable, production-ready systems for analytics, reporting, and machine learning. I am a Senior Data Engineer and Cloud Engineer with over 8 years of experience building end-to-end data platforms, large-scale ETL pipelines, and cloud-native architectures on AWS and Azure. Most of my clients come to me when their pipelines are slow, expensive, fragile, or difficult to maintain. I design and rebuild data systems so they can run daily without breaking, handle growing volumes, and support real business decisions. I work across the full data lifecycle: ingestion, transformation, modeling, quality checks, and delivery. I build pipelines that pull data from APIs, databases, files, and event streams, transform it with Spark and SQL, and store it in data lakes and warehouses that power dashboards, analytics, and machine learning. I am AWS Certified and have built multiple production platforms using S3, Glue, EMR, Iceberg, Athena, Redshift, Lambda, IAM, and CloudFormation. I also have experience with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and ADLS, as well as CI/CD tools such as Jenkins and GitHub Actions to keep data pipelines reliable and deployable. A strong part of my expertise is Spark and PySpark optimization. I regularly improve slow or unstable pipelines using techniques such as partitioning strategies, shuffle reduction, broadcast joins, caching, and breaking long DAGs with checkpoints. I have built highly optimized Spark pipelines processing millions of records daily in a stable and cost-efficient way. I have also implemented plug-and-play ETL frameworks that allow multiple teams to ingest and transform data from a shared repository, as well as data quality and ML monitoring using tools like Evidently to track drift and model performance. For business users and data science teams, I have delivered dashboards and reporting systems using Power BI and Amazon QuickSight. In addition to data engineering, I also have experience building web and mobile applications with React, which allows me to design data systems that integrate cleanly with real products and user interfaces. If you need someone who can not only write code but design, optimize, and operate serious data systems in production, I would be happy to help.

With nearly 20 years of experience in enterprise IT, I bridge the gap between high-level architectural strategy and the hands-on reality of daily operations. My background isn't just in spinning up servers; it's deeply rooted in mission-critical middleware, financial systems, and global-scale infrastructure for companies like ADP, Adevinta, Luxottica, and Nestlé. If you are looking for a consultant who can drive a project from the initial whiteboard design to the final production deployment (and ensure it stays up at 3 AM), I can help. My Core Value Proposition: I offer end-to-end ownership of your infrastructure. I specialize in taking complex, legacy, or chaotic environments and transforming them into streamlined, automated, and cost-efficient cloud platforms. HOW CAN I HELP YOU ---------------------------- - End-to-End Cloud Modernization: I lead the full lifecycle—assessing legacy monoliths (on-prem/middleware), designing the cloud-native architecture (AWS/Azure), and writing the Terraform code to make it real. - Operational Excellence (SRE): Architecture is useless if it breaks. I implement SRE best practices, observability (Datadog/Grafana), and auto-scaling logic to ensure 99.99% availability for critical workloads. - FinOps & Cost Reduction: leveraging my Master’s in Financial Management, I don't just "cut costs"—I re-architect for financial efficiency. I have a track record of implementing tagging strategies and rightsizing automation that significantly reduce OPEX without sacrificing velocity. - Security First (DevSecOps): I build Zero Trust models and integrate security directly into CI/CD pipelines (SAST/DAST), ensuring compliance with strict regulations like SOX and GDPR. SERVICES ------------- Cloud Architecture & Migration: "Lift and shift" or complete refactoring of legacy applications to AWS, Azure, or GCP. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Development: Writing modular, reusable Terraform libraries for immutable infrastructure. DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines: Building advanced pipelines (GitHub Actions, TeamCity) to automate testing, security scanning, and deployment. Kubernetes & Container Orchestration: Designing and managing production-grade clusters (EKS, AKS, OpenShift). FinOps Consulting: Cloud cost auditing, budget forecasting, and resource optimization strategy. Middleware & Backend Operations: Deep expertise in IBM WebSphere, MQ, and enterprise message buses. TECHNICAL STACK AND SKILLS ---------------------------------------- Cloud Platforms: - AWS: EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, VPC, Elastic Beanstalk, Workspaces. - Microsoft Azure: App Service, AKS, Virtual Machines. - Google Cloud Platform (GCP): Integration with TensorFlow/AI workloads. - Private Cloud: OpenStack, IBM Cloud. DevOps & IaC: - Infrastructure as Code: Terraform (HashiCorp Certified), CloudFormation. - Containerization: Kubernetes (CKA Certified), Docker, OpenShift, Rancher, Helm. - CI/CD: GitHub Actions, TeamCity, Jenkins, Rundeck. - Config Management: Ansible, HashiCorp Consul & Vault. Operations & Observability (SRE): - Monitoring: Datadog, Grafana. - OS: Linux (Red Hat Enterprise/CentOS), Solaris SPARC, Windows Server. - Middleware: IBM WebSphere (WAS, MQ), JBoss EAP, Apache Solr. Languages & Scripting: - Python, Bash/Shell, HCL (Terraform). Compliance & Security: - Zero Trust Architecture, SOX/GDPR Compliance, SAST/DAST integration. PORTFOLIO HIGHLIGHTS -------------------------------- Global HCM Platform Governance (ADP) - Challenge: Managing governance and compliance for a massive hybrid cloud environment serving millions of users. - Action: Architected a Zero Trust security model and standardized deployment patterns across AWS and Azure. - Result: Reduced compliance audit times by 40% and achieved 100% SOX/GDPR compliance. Finance Transformation & SAP Integration (Adevinta) - Challenge: Securely connecting internal applications to SAP S/4HANA for a global finance transformation. - Action: Designed a secure AWS middleware layer and implemented a Zero Trust network for BPO partners. - Result: Enabled secure, high-availability access to sensitive financial data with improved incident detection via Datadog SLOs. Supply Chain Infrastructure Modernization (viaPhoton) - Challenge: Slow provisioning times for manufacturing edge-locations and security vulnerabilities. - Action: Engineered modular Terraform libraries and implemented GitHub Actions pipelines with automated security scanning. - Result: Reduced provisioning time from days to hours and secured the software supply chain. RELEVANT CERTIFICATIONS ------------------------------------ AWS Solutions Architect Associate CKA Certified Kubernetes Administrator HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate
