What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Senior Data Engineer role

At MicroDev Solutions, I lead five data engineers building enterprise ETL/ELT pipelines and cloud data platforms across Azure, AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Redshift, and BigQuery, processing more than 5 TB daily.

I've modernized legacy ETL and warehouse workloads with Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Delta Lake, Snowflake, Spark, Python, Airflow, dbt, and Informatica. I also build Kafka and Spark Streaming solutions that enable low-latency integration across critical business systems.

Previously at Systems Limited and Allied Bank Limited, I migrated Teradata and Oracle workloads to cloud platforms, reduced costs by 40%, improved processing speed by 30%, and delivered governed data products, dashboards, lineage, and AI/ML preparation pipelines.
