I'm a Data Engineer with 7+ years of experience building data platforms, ETL/ELT pipelines, migration frameworks, and analytics solutions across APAC, ANZ, and North America within the insurance industry.
Throughout my career, I've worked on large-scale data migration, cloud modernization, analytics enablement, and data quality initiatives, with a focus on building reliable and scalable solutions that help organizations make better use of their data.
My primary expertise lies in Azure Databricks, Apache Spark, PySpark, SQL, Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, and I enjoy solving problems related to data processing, platform engineering, data quality, and performance optimization.
Lately, I've been exploring how Generative AI can complement data engineering, particularly in areas such as metadata intelligence, analytics acceleration, developer productivity, and intelligent data tooling.
