Alex Ahmad

I am an innovative data solution architect with 12+ years designing, scaling, and optimizing cloud-native, high-volume data platforms. I focus on real-time streaming, lakehouse architecture, and data governance to deliver analytics-ready assets that drive business outcomes.

At scale, I have built platforms that process billions of daily events, integrated Snowflake and AWS services, and orchestrated hundreds of Airflow DAGs to deliver reliable, low-latency analytics. I emphasize cost efficiency and operational stability through serverless migrations and Terraform-based infrastructure as code.

I lead and mentor engineers, having directed a team of six and established agile delivery workflows and structured mentorship programs to improve delivery efficiency and code quality. I champion domain-driven data mesh approaches, data contracts, and centralized quality and lineage using Great Expectations and Apache Atlas.

I seek to partner with cross-functional teams to accelerate time-to-insight, reduce operational costs, and enable self-service analytics. I bring deep hands-on expertise across Apache Spark, Kafka, Flink, Snowflake, Airflow, AWS, and modern DevOps practices to deliver governed, scalable data platforms.
