Akshay Hangaragi

I’m a Senior Data Engineer with 4 years of high-impact enterprise experience at JPMorgan Chase & Co., where I functioned as the technical lead for data platform delivery—owning architecture decisions, coordinating with client Vice Presidents and business stakeholders, and driving end-to-end execution. I delivered a 24-billion-record historical load under round-the-clock ownership during IST hours, achieving an 85% Spark performance improvement and earning formal client appreciation.

I mentor engineers and set engineering standards through technology evaluations and POCs, including Kafka vs. Cortex and Redshift vs. Snowflake—outcomes that shaped platform direction. I build reliable, production-ready pipelines with strong testing practices (including 100% component test coverage with pytest-bdd), and I bring secondary expertise in ML pipeline integration with AWS SageMaker and MLOps, including AWS Glue/Lambda orchestration and anomaly detection.
