At Nexla, I architect scalable cloud data platforms with Python, SQL, Apache Spark, Snowflake, and Databricks, supporting hundreds of millions of records each month. I build ETL/ELT pipelines and real-time Kafka and Spark Structured Streaming architectures for high-volume analytics.

I've delivered modern Lakehouse solutions using Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg, improving query performance by 70%. I also streamlined infrastructure deployment with Terraform and CI/CD, reducing manual deployment effort by 80%.

Previously at Redpanda Data, I led distributed data engineering initiatives and modernized legacy workloads with Databricks, Delta Lake, and Snowflake, reducing processing time by 60%. At dbt Labs, I built enterprise ELT pipelines, analytical models, and data-quality workflows for reporting and business intelligence.

I focus on reliable, secure data platforms for analytics, AI/ML, risk, and business-critical workloads, with strong attention to governance, monitoring, and operational resilience.
