A seasoned Data SME Mentor and Coach with 30 years of IT industry experience excels in guiding professionals toward mastery in enterprise data architecture, cloud modernization, and strategic data solutions. This role demands deep technical expertise combined with empathetic coaching to transform raw talent into industry leaders. Drawing from extensive hands-on work across AWS, Databricks, Snowflake, and legacy migrations, the mentor identifies skill gaps, customizes learning paths, and fosters resilience in high-stakes data environments. Key responsibilities include conducting one-on-one mentoring sessions focused on advanced topics like Delta Lake optimization, Spark tuning, Unity Catalog governance, and real-time streaming with Kafka. The coach facilitates workshops on data lakehouse design, cost optimization, and disaster recovery, using real-world case studies from Fortune 500 migrations. Emphasis lies on practical application—mentoring participants through Terraform IaC for data pipelines, PySpark debugging, and SQL performance tuning. Regular progress reviews ensure accountability, with personalized feedback addressing data skewness, lineage tracking, and observability. Beyond technical guidance, the role nurtures soft skills: strategic thinking for enterprise advisory, interview preparation via mock sessions, and career trajectory planning. Leveraging 30 years' insights—from Oracle GoldenGate migrations to modern ELT orchestration—the mentor shares battle-tested strategies for cloud cost governance and distributed systems scaling. Group cohorts benefit from peer learning circles, hackathons on Lambda/Kappa architectures, and resume refinement for senior roles. Ultimately, this mentor-coach shapes the next generation of data architects, blending rigorous technical depth with inspirational leadership. Mentees emerge confident, innovative, and ready to drive digital transformation.
