Senior Technical Leadership Background

10+ years advancing through technical and leadership roles

Progressed from Senior Data Engineer and Backend Developer to leadership positions guiding technical decisions, mentoring engineering teams, designing enterprise architectures, and delivering mission-critical systems. Direct hands-on experience building and scaling data platforms, microservices, and cloud solutions at Fortune 500 companies and high-growth startups.

Enterprise Data Platform Architecture: Architected and delivered high-volume ETL/ELT pipelines and data warehouse solutions using Apache Spark, PySpark, Azure Databricks, and Azure Synapse handling multi-terabyte datasets.

Performance Optimization: Optimized Spark workloads reducing runtime by ~50%, improved transformation performance by ~45%, and migrated legacy Pandas workflows to PySpark for massive scalability improvements.

Code Quality Leadership: Established test-driven development practices, increased code coverage from 0% to over 92%, implemented CI/CD automation, and wrote hundreds of unit tests with near-100% coverage.

Microservices & API Design: Built Python-based microservices processing millions of records, designed extensible and configurable applications using OOP patterns, migrated REST endpoints to GraphQL, and implemented OAuth2 integrations.

Enterprise Scale Delivery: Contributed over 2 million lines of code to production systems, led cross-functional initiatives across business, compliance, and technical teams, and delivered mission-critical solutions for Fortune 500 organizations.

Team Development & Mentorship: Mentored junior developers and data engineers, held technical training sessions, consulted on architectural decisions and product implementation, and fostered engineering excellence across organizations.
