• Architecting and optimizing high-throughput data ingestion pipelines for enterprise-scale Contact Center operations. My core focus is on memory-safe data processing, distributed orchestration, and building resilient, metadata-driven architectures.
• High-Performance Data Ingestion (TransUnion Integration)
• Memory Optimization & Benchmarking: Conducted a rigorous Proof of Concept (POC) comparing Pandas, Polars, and DuckDB for processing 1M+ row datasets in memory-constrained environments.
• The DuckDB Solution: Engineered a custom data-mapping solution using DuckDB PyRelations and PRAGMA limits. Achieved processing speeds of 1 million rows in ~7 seconds while keeping RAM usage under 250MB—a 90% reduction in memory overhead compared to legacy methods.
• Production-Ready Validation Architecture
• File-Agnostic Validation Engine: Developed an 8-point validation pipeline to sanitize incoming ADC data (handling unescaped quotes, corrupt NULL bytes, and inconsistent delimiters).
• Metadata-Driven Schema Sniffing: Refactored the validation script to dynamically read schemas from Snowflake metadata tables (DATA_OBJECT), allowing the system to process any CSV source without hardcoded configurations.
• Advanced Sanitization: Implemented vectorized SQL sanitization and integrated a Python UDF with LRU caching for real-time phone number validation using the Google phonenumbers library.
• Orchestration & Infrastructure
• Pipeline Orchestration: Architected the entire validation workflow into a production-safe Apache Airflow 3.x DAG.
• Scheduler-Safe Design: Encapsulated all I/O and database connections within task contexts to prevent parsing bottlenecks in Managed Airflow.
• Capacity Planning: Profiled the Airflow stack's memory footprint (2.23 GiB) and authored formal infrastructure recommendations (3GB per worker) to guarantee production stability. Built automated file-state transitions (processed/error routing with timestamp suffixing) to prevent data collisions.

• Architectural Leadership
• Spearheaded the end-to-end architectural redesign of the data ingestion framework by strategically adapting an existing production-level Go (Golang) connector. This decision accelerated the development timeline and reduced risk by leveraging a mature, battle-tested application for SFTP handling, state management, and batch processing.
• Code Modernization & Efficiency
• Engineered a highly efficient, decoupled data flow by separating data fetching from filtering logic using Go channels. This architectural improvement reduced code complexity in a core ingestion function by 76%, significantly enhancing future maintainability and scalability.
• Advanced Data Modeling
• Owned the complete data modeling and persistence strategy in Snowflake. Analyzed 150+ TransUnion attributes and designed a robust Slowly Changing Dimension (SCD) Type 2 model to version-track ~30 critical data points, enabling historical analysis and ensuring data lineage for compliance.
• System Resilience
• Fortified pipeline resilience and observability by implementing robust error handling, including 10-second query timeouts and row-level error skipping, to guarantee continuous operation during partial data source failures.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
• Partnered with the UX/UI team to design user-facing features, providing critical feedback that improved usability. Prepared and structured executive-level presentations for the Head of Product and Chief Architect to communicate project strategy, progress, and key architectural decisions.
