About

I build data systems in Azure that actually work. Over the years, I’ve moved from traditional web apps and database solutions into advanced cloud data engineering, with one focus: helping organizations turn messy, siloed, and outdated systems into pipelines, dashboards, and applications that scale. My toolkit is centered on the Microsoft stack: Azure Synapse for analytics at scale Azure Data Factory for orchestration and ETL/ELT pipelines Databricks for transformation and advanced data prep SQL Server as a rock-solid backbone Power BI for analytics and decision-making Power Platform (Power Automate, Power Apps) for business automation and integration I’ve led teams and delivered projects across aeronautics, healthcare, and enterprise consulting, building data pipelines, automations, and applications that serve thousands of users. My time as a Managing Consultant at NTT DATA Services sharpened my ability to translate business requirements into scalable technical architectures, while my work at REVISION, Inc. kept me hands-on in designing cloud applications that drive collaboration and productivity. I don’t just deliver “proof of concepts.” I design systems with governance, monitoring, security, and maintainability built in—so they last. I also mentor teams to work with these platforms responsibly, because a rushed flow or pipeline that looks fine today can be tomorrow’s bottleneck. In short: I use Azure’s data engineering ecosystem to turn chaos into clarity, and I help businesses grow without their tech falling apart in the process.
