About

Let me introduce myself.

I’m a Data Engineer focused on building and evolving cloud-native data platforms that enable reliable, scalable, and analytics-ready data.

My work blends engineering and architecture: designing ingestion frameworks, defining governance and metadata standards, operating AWS Lakehouse components, and automating infrastructure to support a modern data ecosystem.

I’m passionate about creating platforms that make analytics faster and easier — systems that emphasize clarity, lineage, data quality, and long-term scalability.
