WORK HISTORY
Lead Data Architect Engineer @Sunstream Business Services
Minneapolis, MN, US
Led design and rollout of a next-generation Azure data platform (ADLS Gen2, ADF, Databricks) supporting repeatable conversion cycles and both batch + near-real-time pipelines.Implemented automated Cornerstone (DB2) → Oracle DNA ingestion and transformation workflows in Databricks, enabling consistent, auditable conversion runs.Designed and delivered mapping + transformation logic from legacy Cornerstone structures to Oracle DNA target structures; standardized patterns to improve reuse and reduce rework.Built a balancing & reconciliation framework (control totals, record counts, key financial/operational balances, exception reporting) to validate each load and speed up sign-off.Developed bronze/silver/gold data layers and authored 100+ dbt models/views/macros, integrated into CI/CD for reliable deployments and traceable changes.Orchestrated Databricks jobs and ADF pipelines using parameterized triggers and restartable patterns, improving throughput by ~40% while reducing manual intervention.Architected governance using Unity Catalog and Azure Purview (access policies, classification, lineage) to support risk, audit, and sensitive data handling.Produced conversion status and reconciliation dashboards/visualizations (Databricks SQL and/or BI tooling) so business + IT teams could quickly spot breaks and prioritize fixes.
