I am a hybrid Software and Data Engineer with over 10 years of experience designing scalable distributed systems, high-throughput data pipelines, and observable data architectures. My core strength lies in merging rigorous software engineering principles — Infrastructure as Code, asynchronous processing, and automated testing — with the modern data stack to deliver resilient, idempotent, and decision-ready data assets.
