About

I’m a Sr Data Analyst/Engineer and hands-on Data Engineering Architect/Manager in banking who ships production-grade data products on the Microsoft stack—SQL Server, Dataverse/CRM, Power BI, and Microsoft Fabric. At Khalifa Fund, I blueprint lakehouse/warehouse layers on Delta and standardize ingestion (API/SQL/SharePoint) so decision makers get trusted KPIs—without the Excel last mile. Real-world wins: industrialized DED/TAMM API ingestion (token refresh, pagination, Y/M/D partitioning), consolidated semantic models for Credit/Portfolio/NPL/EWS, and tightened governance (business glossary, data classification) aligned to audit. I stay hands-on—PySpark notebooks, DAX, T-SQL, performance tuning—and convert patterns into reusable templates. Results include 20%+ process efficiency, 98% CSAT on ops analytics. MITx Data Science trained; actively exploring ML use cases (risk scoring, early-warning signals) that graduate from notebooks to value. Targeting: Data Engineering Manager / Data & Analytics Architect roles—own the platform roadmap, elevate engineering rigor, and ship governed analytics leaders adopt.
