As a Senior Software Engineer at H&R Block, I collaborate with cross-functional teams to design and implement Azure infrastructure, including VMs, storage accounts, Function Apps, databricks, and more. I have over five years of experience in data engineering, software development, and administering and maintaining Hadoop and big data ecosystems. One of my key contributions is providing the necessary infrastructure to build an internal chat bot that uses Azure Open AI deployments. I also work with the data science and analytics team, supporting them with data requirements and optimizing recommendations using PySpark. I leverage my extensive hands-on experience in pyspark, sparklyr, and spark programming, as well as my certifications in HDP and Cloudera, to deliver solutions that meet the client's business needs.
