About Me
I'm a senior Azure Data Architect and Microsoft Fabric expert helping organizations build, optimize, and modernize their cloud data infrastructure. From Fortune 500 companies to agile startups, I design scalable systems that simplify analytics, streamline pipelines, and unlock real business insights. I also build AI-powered agents and copilots that let business users query governed data in plain language, backed by retrieval-augmented generation and deterministic, auditable logic.
As Co-Founder of a Microsoft Partner firm and a proud U.S. citizen, I offer enterprise-level expertise without the overhead. You'll work directly with the architect who's led successful projects for Microsoft, CVS, Toyota, LinkedIn, Wells Fargo, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, DHS, United Health Group, Coca-Cola, UBS, Capgemini, and multiple large law firms — no middle layers, just results.
