About

Who I am

I’m a Data Engineer working in the banking and fintech space, focused on building and supporting production-grade ETL pipelines and batch processing systems.

My day-to-day involves handling real production challenges — from debugging failed jobs and resolving data issues to ensuring pipelines run reliably and meet business expectations.

I approach data engineering with a strong focus on reliability, performance, and ownership. To me, data isn’t just processed — it needs to be trusted, monitored, and consistently available.

I’m currently expanding into cloud-based data platforms and modern data architectures.
