Senior data engineer specializing in Snowflake, ELT/ETL pipelines, and cloud data architecture on AWS and Azure.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years of experience specializing in Snowflake data warehousing, SQL development, and ELT/ETL pipeline engineering across AWS and Azure. I focus on designing scalable pipelines and transformations that turn complex business requirements into high-performance data systems.
In my current role as a Specialist Cloud Engineer, I led an end-to-end enterprise data migration into Snowflake—writing 50+ complex T-SQL scripts and delivering a migration with zero data loss. I built validation frameworks with SSMS and SQL Profiler, automated deployments via SQLCMD and Azure DevOps CI/CD, and led/mentored a team of 6 engineers to improve onboarding efficiency by 40%. Previously, at ZS Associates, I architected and orchestrated ELT pipelines using Apache Airflow DAGs on AWS EMR with Python (Pandas) data quality checks, and automated workflows with AWS Lambda and Step Functions to reduce manual intervention by 60%—while resolving production failures using CloudWatch log analysis. Earlier, I developed SQL solutions for US healthcare claims processing (Cognizant) and delivered end-to-end database projects for enterprise clients (Acidaes Solutions), strengthening my DB design, performance tuning, and data reliability mindset.
