Tech Lead, Data Engineering @ Data Mavericks
About
I am a lead data engineer with over 8 years of experience designing, building, and optimizing data platforms across different industries. My expertise spans Python, SQL, Spark, Kafka, Airflow, AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake and Databricks. Beyond hands-on development, I have led end-to-end data engineering projects, mentored junior engineers, and conducted technical interviews to build strong data teams. I hold multiple certifications, including AWS Solutions Architect Professional, Azure Data Engineer Associate, Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer, Databricks Data Engineer Professional, and SnowPro Advanced Data Engineer. I earned a Master’s in Civil Engineering from Washington State University, where my research applied machine learning to hydrological modeling. Passionate about staying at the forefront of data engineering, I continuously seek new challenges to drive innovation and efficiency.
