Experienced Senior Data Platform Engineer with 7.5+ years of expertise in designing, building, and managing scalable data platforms and real-time streaming systems. Skilled in Apache Kafka (Strimzi, MSK, Confluent Cloud), Apache Flink, Apache Beam, Spark, and AWS Glue for large-scale data processing and streaming analytics.

Hands-on experience with Elasticsearch, PostgreSQL, Redis, and DynamoDB for storage, indexing, caching, and fast data retrieval. Proficient in deploying and orchestrating data services on Kubernetes, Docker, and AWS EKS using Helm and FluxCD.

Focused on building zone-aware, cost-optimized architectures leveraging S3-based storage, OpenEBS, and rack-aware Kafka replication to minimize cross-zone network costs.
