• Oversee complex implementations, including legacy data warehouse migrations, lakehouse deployments, and enterprise analytics solutions.
• Design, build, and productionize robust end-to-end data ingestion pipelines and transformation workflows using Databricks, Apache Spark, Python, SQL, and cloud-native services.
• Assist in scoping professional services engagements by delivering technical solution designs, architectural blueprints, and accurate effort estimations.
• Partner with the delivery teams, client engineers, and project managers to drive on-time, high-quality technical execution.
• Troubleshoot complex implementation challenges, author architectural documentation, and establish best practices to support long-term client self-sufficiency.
