Data engineering Lead focused on data products, GenAI/agents, and the modern Microsoft Fabric/Azure data stack.
I design and build governed data products and end‑to‑end pipelines on hybrid on‑prem + cloud platforms, using tools like Microsoft Fabric, Azure data services, SQL Server, SSIS, Azure DevOps, Python, Spark, and Power BI.
Recently, I’ve been working on:
Standardizing data product contracts and schemas (ODPS‑style) to make data reusable and self‑service for analytics and AI teams.
Exploring GenAI and agents to automate data ingestion, documentation, and operational workflows using cloud‑native agent frameworks.
Implementing CI/CD, monitoring, and error‑handling patterns for production data pipelines so teams can trust and rely on the data.
I’m especially interested in how data products + GenAI‑powered agents can transform traditional ETL into smarter, context‑aware data services.
