I’m a Senior Data Engineering Leader at Amazon with over 17 years of experience building enterprise-scale data platforms that power analytics, AI, and revenue-critical decision systems. I lead large data engineering organizations responsible for petabyte-scale infrastructure, thousands of pipelines, and globally distributed stakeholders.

My work sits at the intersection of enterprise data architecture, governance design, and AI-enabled platform strategy. I’ve led multi-year data transformation initiatives, built GenAI-enabled data platforms, and driven cross-organizational alignment to establish authoritative, trusted data foundations for multi-billion-dollar businesses.

I focus on designing governance-first architectures that balance autonomy with control - enabling enterprises to innovate rapidly while maintaining interoperability, security, and compliance at scale.
