WORK HISTORY
Data Engineer @Gordon Food Service
US
At Gordon Food Services, I l design and development of scalable data pipelines and cloud-native data platforms across AWS and Azure. My primary focus is building robust ETL and ELT workflows using Databricks and Python to process structured, semi-structured, and real-time data from various sources including APIs, cloud storage, and streaming platforms like Kafka and AWS Kinesis.I manage and optimize Databricks clusters, implementing auto-scaling and performance tuning strategies to ensure cost-effective, high-performance processing. I also maintain CI/CD pipelines using Terraform and Azure DevOps to automate infrastructure provisioning and deployment of data workflows. These efforts support integrations with Snowflake and Redshift, enabling high-quality analytics and reporting.In addition to engineering, I work closely with BI, data science, and security teams to ensure data quality, governance, and compliance with standards such as NIST. I’ve built validation frameworks, automated monitoring and alerting, and contributed to secure access control configurations across the data platform. My goal is to deliver a secure, scalable, and well-documented environment that empowers the organization to make data-driven decisions efficiently.
