Data Integration / Data Engineer/Architect

Candidate Description

With over two decades navigating data-centric roles, this seasoned Lead Data Engineer/Architect excels in architecting and modernising cloud data platforms on Microsoft Azure and Snowflake. They have operated across diverse sectors—including government, financial services, energy and aviation—delivering robust, well-governed solutions that harness Azure Integration Services, Databricks and Power Platform assets to unlock business insight.

Adept at metadata-driven engineering, the professional has implemented medallion-layer lakehouse architectures, automated CI/CD workflows with Azure DevOps and orchestrated large-scale migrations from legacy ecosystems to scalable, cost-optimised cloud environments. Key project wins include leading a global consulting firm's airline clients through phased data-estate migrations, deploying a Snowflake warehouse for a major emergency services organization, and designing a blockchain-enabled energy-trading data backbone for an energy finance company. Their toolkit spans Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, Logic Apps, API Management, Power BI and advanced Python/PySpark development.

Combining strategic vision with hands-on delivery, they mentor cross-functional teams, foster inclusive cultures and champion data-governance best practices through MS Purview and Coalesce. Known for clear stakeholder communication and a commitment to continuous learning, this individual consistently drives digital-transformation outcomes that translate complex data landscapes into actionable intelligence and measurable business value.
