SQL Server & ETL foundations → Azure Data Engineering → Reliable, observable data systems.
Data infrastructure • Reliability • Azure • Streaming • Lakehouse • Operational analytics
I’m a Data Engineer with a long-standing background in SQL Server, ETL, data infrastructure, and operational reliability, now extending that foundation into modern Azure Data Engineering.
My portfolio follows a deliberate progression:
SQL Server / ETL / operational reliability
↓
Cloud ingestion and orchestration
↓
Lakehouse transformation and history
↓
Analytical serving
↓
Security / IaC / monitoring / alerting
↓
Real-time reliability / state / observability
The recurring theme across my work is reliability: knowing what arrived, what changed, what failed, what state is true, and what downstream consumers can trust.
- Data infrastructure & reliability — traceability, recoverability, data quality, observability, failure handling, and operational clarity.
- SQL Server & ETL — T-SQL, SSIS, performance tuning, backup/recovery, HA/DR, and production support.
- Azure Data Engineering — ADF, ADLS Gen2, Databricks, Delta Lake, Synapse Serverless SQL, Event Hubs, KQL, Azure Monitor, and Managed Identity.
- Production readiness — RBAC, Key Vault, Bicep, GitHub Actions validation, diagnostics, alerts, and cost-aware resource decisions.
- Real-time analytics — event quality, canonicalization, integrity vs timeliness, state reconstruction, Gold serving, and operational observability.
Real-time Azure Data Engineering pipeline using Event Hubs + KQL with Raw / Parsed / Canonical analytical layers, stream integrity and timeliness analysis, Raw-to-Canonical reconciliation, state reconstruction, Gold serving, controlled failure scenarios, and a four-page operational dashboard.
What it proves: real-time analytical engineering, stream reliability, event semantics, state modeling, and operational observability.
Production-readiness project focused on Managed Identity, RBAC, Key Vault, Bicep, GitHub Actions validation, Log Analytics, KQL diagnostics, Azure Monitor alerts, and failure handling around a small ADF ingestion pipeline.
What it proves: operational maturity beyond a pipeline that merely “works.”
Lakehouse project using PySpark + Delta Lake with Bronze / Silver / Gold layers, MERGE, SCD Type 2, Time Travel, rejected records, and validation reporting.
What it proves: modern transformation, historical modeling, data quality, and Lakehouse engineering.
Metadata-driven ADF ingestion framework integrating SQL Server and file sources with control tables, watermarks, incremental loading, retry/failure validation, and operational monitoring.
SQL serving layer over ADLS Gen2 using Synapse Serverless SQL, external tables, reporting views, data-quality checks, CETAS, and cost-aware querying.
Foundation event-driven project using Event Hub, Azure Functions, ADLS Gen2, layered validation, stateful modeling, and Gold aggregation.
Production-oriented framework for backup orchestration, restore-chain construction, restore validation, point-in-time recovery testing, and auditability.
This project represents the operational reliability mindset that also runs through my Azure portfolio.
- Energy Multimarket Dashboard — Brent vs WTI exploratory dashboard built from an automated ETL workflow.
- Additional analytics work includes customer churn, A/B testing, telecom behavior analysis, SQL analysis, and Tableau reporting.
I’m focused on Data Engineering roles centered on reliable data infrastructure, especially environments that value:
- SQL Server and ETL depth.
- Azure Data Engineering.
- Data reliability and observability.
- Production-aware pipeline design.
- Real-time and event-driven systems.
- Clear technical documentation and operational ownership.
The next technical capability on my roadmap is data governance and lineage, but my current priority is turning the completed portfolio into a concise recruiter-facing and interview-ready story.
