• Design secure, scalable, and high-performance Lakehouse solutions using AWS services, Databricks, Delta Lake, and Unity Catalog.

• Architect data ingestion, integration, batch, streaming, data engineering, semantic, analytics, and AI solutions.

• Design AI-enabled analytics experiences using Databricks Genie, semantic models, natural-language analytics, and governed data access.

• Lead architecture definition, HLD/LLD preparation, non-functional assessments, migration planning, technical governance, and production readiness.

• Establish standards for security, governance, metadata, lineage, observability, responsible AI, and DataOps delivery.

• Lead data-platform modernization and cloud migration initiatives while addressing scalability, reliability, and compliance.

• Conduct architecture reviews, identify risks and dependencies, and guide teams on practical mitigation strategies.

• Drive performance, reliability, serverless-compute, and cost optimization across AWS and Databricks environments.

• Support solutioning, RFP responses, effort estimation, technical presentations, and workshops.

• Mentor architects and engineers and develop reusable accelerators, reference architectures, implementation frameworks, and best practices.

What You Bring
