I help healthcare organizations, government agencies, insurance platforms, and regulated enterprises move their data — accurately, completely, and without disruption. From legacy system extraction to go-live validation, I own the full migration lifecycle.
I'm a senior data migration engineer and ETL architect with a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering and deep roots in regulated industries where data quality is a matter of compliance — and sometimes patient safety. For over 15 years, I've been the person organizations turn to when a migration can't fail.
My work spans the full lifecycle: understanding your legacy system's quirks, building accurate source-to-target maps, writing the ETL that moves the data without losing a record, and standing beside you through cutover. I communicate in plain language with stakeholders and in precise technical terms with your engineering team.
I've worked as an embedded engineer, a Subject Matter Expert, and an independent technical lead. As a consultant, I bring that same standard — without the overhead of a large firm.
End-to-end migration from legacy systems to modern platforms. I handle discovery, schema analysis, source-to-target mapping, ETL development, validation, cutover planning, and go-live support — with zero data loss as the baseline expectation.
Design and build high-volume ETL/ELT pipelines that are reliable, auditable, and maintainable. I specialize in performance tuning, batch optimization, and replacing brittle legacy pipelines with robust, scalable alternatives.
HIPAA-compliant data architectures for health systems, payers, and research organizations. Deep experience with clinical data (HL7, ICD-10, CPT), organ transplant registries, and integrated health data repositories.
Migrate legacy on-premises pipelines to Azure Data Factory, Snowflake, or Databricks. Assessment, roadmap, phased migration, and validation — without disrupting your production data flows.
Data profiling, cleansing, validation framework design, and root cause analysis for quality failures. Audit-ready documentation, access controls, and in-database governance for HIPAA, FERPA, and PHI environments.
Fractional technical leadership for data engineering teams. ETL standards, code review, pipeline best practices, and hands-on mentorship for junior engineers — drawing on 15+ years of production migration experience.
My background is rooted in environments where a migration error has real consequences — for patients, students, policyholders, and research outcomes. That discipline shapes every project I take on.
Every number below represents a real project delivered — data moved, validated, and signed off by a client who could trust the results.
Ready to talk through your migration challenge?
Get in Touch →Every engagement starts with listening. I want to understand your legacy system, your target, your timeline, and what "success" means to your team before I write a single line of ETL.
We discuss your current system, target platform, data volumes, compliance requirements, and timeline. No commitment required.
I review source data samples and schema documentation, identify risks and edge cases, and deliver a clear scope and approach document.
ETL development, iterative testing, data quality validation, and regular progress updates — keeping your team informed at every stage.
Cutover coordination, final validation, reconciliation reports, and post-migration support until your team is confident in the data.
Fixed scope, defined deliverables. Ideal for a single migration or a bounded modernization initiative with a clear start and end.
Monthly engagement for organizations with continuous migration work, pipeline maintenance, or a growing data engineering team that needs an experienced hand.
Open to full-time remote positions with organizations where the mission, domain, and team are the right fit. Healthcare, government, and professional services preferred.
A focused engagement to assess your current data architecture, identify migration risks, and produce a written remediation roadmap — no long commitment required.
Whether you have an upcoming migration, a broken pipeline, or just want to understand your options — I'm happy to have a no-pressure conversation.
