Description

Most data engineers haven't operated at petabyte scale. I have.

I spent 4+ years at BC Cancer's Genome Science Centre building and maintaining production data pipelines, PostgreSQL databases, and internal tooling for one of Canada's leading genomics institutions. The systems I worked on processed and stored over 5PB of sequencing data — with zero tolerance for downtime or data loss.

Skills: Python · PostgreSQL · ETL · REST APIs · Docker · Linux · CI/CD · Data Engineering · Bioinformatics

Now based in Nice, France, I take on freelance missions remotely. I'm a strong fit for teams in biotech, medtech, research, or any domain where data quality and pipeline reliability are mission-critical.

Multilingual: English (native), Farsi (native), French (B1).
