• Directed and mentored a specialized cross-functional team of20+professionals (covering Data Engineering, Data Science, and Governance) to successfully define and implement a unified data strategy and governance framework across multiple affiliated healthcare entities. Result: Ensured compliant and standardized data handling for sensitive Patient Health Information (PHI) across the organization. • Architected and delivered a highly scalable, multi-tenant data platform on PureCloud, engineered to manage the complexity of integrating over 800 distinct healthcare data sources and governing 400+ terabytes of patient and operational data. Impact: Established a single source of truth essential for clinical decision support and complex regulatory reporting. • Spearheaded the deployment of high-performance GPU infrastructure to accelerate the development of Large Language Models (LLMs) tailored for clinical and administrative healthcare initiatives. Strategic Achievement: Fostered critical collaboration with healthcare regulators and government bodies to pilot and drive innovative, secure AI projects, positioning the organization as a leader in healthcare technology adoption. • Introduced and operationalized real-time analytics capabilities across the enterprise by leveraging Change Data Capture (CDC) and high-throughput data streaming technologies. Business Value: Reduced the latency of critical operational and patient care insights from hours to near-instantaneous, directly improving time-sensitive decision-making (e.g., patient discharge readiness, claims processing).

Strategic Platform Vision & Innovation • Established the Strategic Roadmap for the enterprise data domain, culminating in the architecture and deployment of a highly scalable, distributed Data Platform capable of processing all data volumes and types with significant speed and agility. • Drove innovation by introducing a Real-time Data Ingestion Platform using Change Data Capture (CDC) and log-based pipelines, reducing data latency across critical business functions. • Implemented advanced analytics solutions for major retail operations (e.g., Malls Parking and Wi-Fi Analytics), providing actionable intelligence that informed customer behavior strategy and operational efficiencies. P&L Management & Cost Optimization • Achieved $2M+ in annual operational savings and eliminated technology management overhead by successfully leading the migration of multiple legacy Data Warehouses to a modern Snowflake cloud environment. • Reduced annual technology expenditure by over 400k+ AED through strategic vendor consolidation, streamlining five disparate data ingestion tools into a single, unified enterprise solution. Operational Excellence & Team Leadership • Directed and mentored a high-performing Data Engineering and Data Management organization of over 20 professionals (covering Big Data, ETL, MDM, DBAs, BI, and BAs), setting performance standards and fostering a culture of ownership and delivery. • Oversaw the governance and management of a multi-terabyte Data Lake infrastructure (Databricks, HDInsight) and 800+ production databases (including Oracle EBiz, Opera, Yardi, etc.), ensuring data reliability and security. • Mitigated data risk and ensured regulatory compliance by implementing enterprise-wide security tools, including Imperva Secure Sphere and Informatica MDM (Master Data Management). • Championed organizational efficiency through the introduction of Robotic Process Automation (RPA) for streamlining core data operations.
