Messy data slowing your team down? I build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and modern cloud architectures on Azure, Databricks, Fabric, and Snowflake that turn raw, chaotic data into clean, analytics-ready systems fast and reliably. I bridge the gap between fragmented data sources and production-grade dashboards, seamlessly adapting to your existing infrastructure rather than forcing an expensive rebuild. What I Can Help You With: Data Warehouse & Lakehouse Architecture: Implementing Medallion design patterns (Bronze → Silver → Gold) using Delta Lake, Microsoft Fabric OneLake, and Snowflake. Scalable ETL/ELT Ingestion: Building automated, metadata-driven pipelines via Azure Data Factory, Fabric Pipelines, Databricks (PySpark/SQL), and dbt. Real-Time Data Streaming: Architecting low-latency workflows using Apache Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, and streaming engines. Database Design & Optimization: Performance tuning, indexing, and data modeling for PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, and cloud warehouses. Proven Project Highlights: Microsoft Fabric Incremental Pipeline: Built a control-table pattern using Get Metadata, Lookup, and ForEach loops to orchestrate zero-duplicate, quarterly ingestion from SharePoint into OneLake via Dataflow Gen2. Azure/Databricks Streaming: Developed a restaurant analytics platform processing 80,000+ events/day, cutting reporting lag from 6 hours to under 3 minutes. Kafka/Snowflake Pipeline: Engineered a real-time stock market data pipeline tracking 120+ tickers with under 8 seconds end-to-end latency. I write clean, documented code your team can maintain long-term and provide transparent daily updates. Message me with your data challenge and I’ll walk you through exactly how to solve it.
