The most amazing...
...project I've worked on involved automating TD Bank's analytics with Azure pipelines and Alteryx, cutting processing time by 40% and saving 40 hours weekly.
Work Experience
Senior Data Analyst
TD Bank Group
- Built Azure-plus-Alteryx ETL workflows that automated manual data operations and saved approximately 40 hours per week.
- Designed and orchestrated end-to-end Azure Data Factory pipelines that ingested data from 4+ source types (SQL Server, REST APIs, SFTP, flat files) into ADLS Gen2.
- Implemented Databricks PySpark transformations and tuning strategies that reduced banking data job runtimes by approximately 25%.
- Productionized CI/CD across development, UAT, and production using Azure DevOps YAML pipelines, ARM templates, and Databricks deployment patterns to improve release reliability.
- Built Power BI monitoring dashboards connected to Delta tables that surfaced data quality results, including null rates, row counts, schema drift, and freshness SLAs, enabling teams to identify and resolve data issues before they impacted reporting.
Software Engineer
First American Financial
- Developed SQL Server database objects (tables, views, stored procedures, functions, triggers) and complex T-SQL logic to support high-volume title and settlement workflows.
- Optimized T-SQL queries on SQL Server 2008 R2/2016 using joins, indexes, CTEs, and temp structures to improve reporting and transactional performance.
- Migrated data from on-premise systems and flat files to AWS RDS/MySQL cloud environments using predefined business rules and controlled cutover processes.
- Executed regression testing through Postman/Newman in Azure DevOps pipelines and performed root-cause analysis to reduce recurring production defects.
Java Engineer
Blackbuck
- Implemented Spring MVC-based application features and Hibernate data mappings that supported printer-device and firmware workflow requirements.
- Developed back-end integrations with MySQL and front-end modules using JSP, HTML5, JavaScript, and jQuery to deliver end-to-end functionality.
- Created unit and integration test coverage using JUnit 3.8 and automated regression flows with Python scripts to improve release confidence.
- Established CI/CD and debugging discipline using Jenkins, Log4j, Jira, and SVN to strengthen sprint delivery consistency and production traceability.
