🔹 I build data platforms that handle petabytes of data, millions of events, and ensure zero-tolerance downtime.
I’m a senior data engineer and cloud architect with over a decade of experience building production-grade, petabyte-scale data platforms for high-growth, data-intensive businesses.
I specialize in real-time analytics, low-latency systems, and cloud cost optimization — the kind of work that breaks if done wrong and gets noticed by leadership when done right.
🚀 Proven Business Impact
- +18% revenue uplift by detecting and blocking high-risk fraud users in a real-time data platform
- Less than 30ms read/write latency for high-DAU applications handling millions of events per day
- Production-grade pipelines supporting analytics & ML with strict data quality guarantees
What I’m Typically Brought In For
- Stabilizing broken or unreliable data pipelines
- Designing real-time or near-real-time architectures
- Reducing Snowflake/cloud warehouse costs
Core Stack:
- Cloud & Warehousing: AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Databricks
- Data Engineering: Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt, Terraform
- Real-Time Systems: Kafka, Flink, DynamoDB
- Architectures: Data Lakes, Warehouses, Lakehouses
How I Work
I ship systems that survive production, scale, and audits.
That means clear scope, measurable outcomes, and no “hope it works” engineering.
📌 If your data platform is a bottleneck or a liability, let’s fix it properly.

Is your legacy Java monolith slowing down your deployments or driving up cloud costs? I help companies modernize their tech stack using Scala, Cats Effect, and Akka/Pekko to build resilient, functional systems that scale.
Moving from Java to Scala isn’t just a syntax change—it’s a performance shift. I specialize in the "Strangler Pattern," allowing you to migrate critical modules into high-performance microservices without interrupting your production environment.
Why work with me?
- Pure Functional Expertise: I leverage Cats and Cats Effect to build type-safe, asynchronous systems that eliminate entire classes of runtime bugs.
- High-Concurrency Mastery: Using Akka and Pekko, I design actor-based systems capable of handling massive throughput and real-time data processing.
- Modern Data Stack: Deep experience with Kafka for event-streaming and Apache Pinot for real-time analytics.
- Cloud Optimization: I don't just write code; I tune the JVM. I’ve helped clients slash GCP/AWS spend by optimizing resource allocation and implementing smart autoscaling.
A "Big Tech" partner for your US team: Based in the EU, I provide a strategic time-zone overlap. I can build while your US team sleeps and be available for syncs during your morning—creating a high-velocity, 24-hour development cycle.
