Architect resilient ETL/ELT workflows for batch, streaming, scheduled, and event-driven data processing.
Develop production Java services and data processing applications for ingestion, orchestration, enrichment, deduplication, and delivery.
Build and improve systems using technologies such as Apache Airflow, Apache Beam, Spark, Google Dataflow, DataProc, Kafka, and Pub/Sub.
Define practical approaches for schema evolution, data contracts, data validation, backfills, replayability, and idempotent processing.
Improve reliability, performance, scalability, and cost efficiency across data acquisition pipelines and services.
Implement observability, monitoring, and alerting for pipeline health, throughput, latency, failure rates, and data quality metrics.
Work with product, data science, platform, and data quality teams to translate business needs into production-ready systems.
