Data Architect & Technical Lead | Databricks, Azure & Data Engineering | Sydney-based

A highly skilled and forward-thinking Data Architect and Technical Lead with strong Azure expertise and a standout distinction as an early adopter of Databricks — bringing hands-on platform depth that most candidates are still catching up to. This is a candidate who has been at the forefront of modern data engineering, building and delivering high-calibre solutions at a time when the tools and patterns others now rely on were still emerging.


With a proven track record of owning end-to-end data engineering delivery, they bring the technical leadership capability to shape architecture decisions, drive complex delivery, and elevate the teams around them.

  • Databricks Expertise: An early adopter with deep, practical Databricks experience — bringing a level of platform fluency and real-world delivery knowledge that goes well beyond what the current market typically offers
  • Azure Data Platform: Strong, hands-on Azure experience across the data and analytics stack, with the architectural breadth to design and deliver robust, scalable solutions in cloud-native environments
  • Data Engineering Delivery: High-calibre, end-to-end data engineering delivery experience — from architecture and design through to build and production deployment — with a track record of owning outcomes and delivering with rigour
  • Technical Leadership: Experienced operating as a technical lead, providing architectural direction, setting engineering standards, and driving delivery excellence across data teams in complex enterprise environments


A Sydney-based Data Architect who combines early-mover platform expertise with strong delivery credentials. An excellent fit for organisations investing seriously in their data capability and looking for a technical leader who can both architect the solution and own the outcome.
