Asfar Abbas

I’m a Senior/Lead Data Engineer with 9+ years of experience designing modern data architectures and building scalable data platforms across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I specialize in Databricks, Snowflake, and Microsoft Fabric, with a focus on high-performance ETL/ELT for real-time and batch analytics.

In my current role, I lead the design and implementation of cloud-native data platforms and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using PySpark, SQL, and Airflow. I implement lakehouse and data fabric architectures with Medallion (Bronze, Silver, Gold) layers to improve data quality, governance, and reliability.

I’ve also delivered end-to-end engineering and architecture solutions in freelance/consulting environments—building reusable ETL/ELT frameworks, automating workflows, and strengthening security with RBAC and encryption. I enjoy transforming data into trusted, governed foundations that power business intelligence, dashboards, and data-driven decision-making.
