01.About Me

I'm a Senior Data Engineer with 15+ years of experience in architecting and implementing large-scale data solutions. Passionate about designing robust data architectures, I specialize in leveraging platforms like Azure Synapse, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric to build efficient and scalable data ecosystems.

Beyond traditional data engineering, I have a keen interest in machine learning integration, particularly in LLM-powered applications using RAG and LlamaIndex to enhance user engagement and drive business insights. I thrive in leading cross-functional teams, driving innovation, and setting new industry standards through continuous improvement and user-driven development.

With a strong problem-solving mindset and a collaborative approach, I'm always excited to explore new technologies and push the boundaries of what's possible with data. 🚀
