• Director of Data Engineering (May 2026 – Present)

As Director of Data Engineering at Champions Funding, I am building Azure data platforms, operational monitoring, and governed delivery for a new line of business. Focus areas include Azure Data Factory reliability, observability across Integration Runtimes and databases, and secure, least-privilege access patterns spanning Entra ID, ADF, and SQL Server.

• Implemented a monitoring framework for Azure Data Factory, Integration Runtime metrics, and database metrics; monitored pipeline failure events with detailed alerting via Email and Microsoft Teams, and integrated automatic Jira ticket creation based on severity.
• Created Azure workbooks and dashboards to monitor performance and activity; used KQL queries against Log Analytics to investigate operational events.
• Built a complete Azure environment in under a month for a new line of business—SQL Database, pipelines, linked services, integration runtimes, Log Analytics, Azure Key Vault, and supporting platform components.
• Implemented least-privilege security by aligning Entra ID groups with roles in Azure Data Factory and SQL Server.
• Adopted GitHub Copilot to assist with debugging and accelerate issue resolution across the data platform.

• Manager, Data Engineering (Jan 2018– Oct 2025)
• Database Developer (Jul 2016 – Jan 2018)

At DoubleLine Funds, I led data engineering for a $150 billion asset management platform, driving modernization and performance across enterprise data systems. I guided the evolution from traditional ETL and on-prem architectures to a modern Microsoft Fabric ecosystem, integrating SQL Server, Oracle, and external APIs through a Medallion lakehouse design. I implemented a Data Vault–based warehouse supporting trading, pricing, and accounting data, and completed a proof of concept using database mirroring and Fabric materialized views to improve load efficiency and data quality—validated through Python and Great Expectations testing. My work also encompassed developing real-time trade processing via MQ, on-demand Bloomberg and Office 365 API integrations, and automation of deployment and monitoring processes to ensure performance, scalability, and reliability across critical workflows.

• Managed a distributed team of five developers across Los Angeles, Tampa Bay, and New Delhi, delivering BAU support and new development initiatives on aggressive timelines while adopting emerging technologies.
• Built an enterprise documentation platform with MkDocs Material as a system-versioned repository of source documentation—runbooks, discovery/planning/decision workbooks, project docs, and a full change log—administered with AI assistance and integrated with Jira.
• Implemented GitHub Actions CI for the MkDocs portal: validated builds, environment URL substitution across development, test, and production, and ran 100+ Python build tests on promotion to preview.
• Completed proof of concept for database mirroring and Fabric materialized views, testing alternative data-loading strategies. Used Python and Great Expectations to measure performance and data quality against existing pipelines, confirming significant improvement in load efficiency and reliability.
• Coordinated data ingestion, transformation, and storage across Microsoft Fabric using lakehouses, warehouses, Gen2 dataflows, pipelines, and Python notebooks. Deployed core accounting data from the Data Vault into bronze, silver, and gold layers and created semantic models to support Power BI analytics.
• Developed Graph API integration with Office 365 to retrieve emailed reports; implemented a C# Exchange Web Services solution for complex Refinitiv file processing with mailbox monitoring and AI-assisted development using Cursor.
• Migrated trade reporting from ODBC to MQ for real-time trade processing; built a C# orchestration solution integrating APIs, real-time security-master requests, and refactored stored procedures across teams.
• Migrated security-master acquisition from scheduled Bloomberg reports to on-demand Bloomberg HAPI API, improving data completeness and eliminating SLA risks through dynamic response handling and robust error reporting.
• Architected and implemented a Data Vault–based warehouse with 100+ tables supporting trading, pricing, and reconciliation.
• Directed overnight ETL workflows and maintained 200+ SSIS packages and agent jobs for accounting and risk data.
• Drove SQL and SSIS optimization, improving query performance, package execution time, and workflow efficiency.

• Senior Data/BI Architect, AVP (Nov 2012 – Jul 2016)
• Technology Manager (Jan 2008 – Nov 2012)
• Lead Application Systems Engineer (May 2006 – Jan 2008)

At Wells Fargo, I led data architecture and development initiatives supporting enterprise risk management across multiple lines of business. My work began with .NET and SSRS solutions for operational risk reporting, evolving into the design of an Operational Risk Data Warehouse using Oracle, IBM DataStage, and Business Objects to centralize and standardize enterprise reporting. Building on that foundation, I architected a dimensional data warehouse for Counterparty and Country Risk using the Microsoft technology stack (SQL Server, SSIS) and MicroStrategy, delivering a unified platform for advanced analytics and regulatory compliance.

• Built and maintained 30+ SSRS reports leveraging SQL Server stored procedures and functions, incorporating custom reporting controls and delivering complex multi-source, click-through, and hierarchical reporting solutions.
• Architected, modeled, and implemented the Operational Risk Data Warehouse to support end-to-end operational risk management—capturing risk identification and exposure, corrective actions, preventive controls, and detailed control-effectiveness testing. Led and mentored a hybrid team of five developers while contributing hands-on across all tiers using SAP PowerDesigner, Oracle 11g, IBM DataStage for ETL and orchestration, and Business Objects universes, reports, dashboards, and Crystal Reports. Provided full production support across the entire solution stack.
• Architected multi-terabyte data warehouses for Issuer, Counterparty, and Country Risk by delivering end-to-end solutions spanning dimensional modeling; development and deployment of SQL assets (stored procedures, functions, tables, views); ETL/ELT processing via 30+ SSIS packages; and complete BI delivery through MicroStrategy semantic models, reporting, and dashboards.
• Directed 15+ onshore/offshore developers delivering enterprise risk solutions.

• Project Manager (Mar 2002 – May 2006)

Managed enterprise-wide projects and led cross-functional teams to deliver technical solutions.

• Managed enterprise IT projects including PeopleSoft ERP implementation, procurement-card migration, and workstation refresh.
• Developed an energy-trading valuation system aggregating prices from 30+ sources for market-risk analysis.

• VP, Systems Development Manager (May 1999 – Mar 2002)
• Product Manager / Technology Manager / Training Manager (1994 – 1999)

Led systems development teams and managed enterprise application development projects. Focused on data integration, reporting, and business process automation across multiple business units.

• Managed technology and development teams delivering enterprise financial and risk systems.
• Oversaw technology life-cycle management, training, and system rollouts across multiple business units.
• Managed the development of the Business Card Application Processing System, a Visual Basic application that interfaced with the credit bureaus to score applications.
