I also drive automation and reliability in workflows using Apache Airflow, orchestrating complex ETL pipelines across cloud and analytics platforms.Beyond technical delivery, I play an active role as a mentor and technical leader, guiding engineers on best practices in data architecture, PySpark development, and pipeline optimization. I collaborate closely with Product, Analytics, and Data Science teams to translate business requirements into robust engineering solutions.I hold dual Master’s degrees in Engineering Management and Computer Engineering from the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and I am passionate about advancing Walmart’s data strategy while fostering a culture of continuous learning within the data engineering community.
