Deepa Chandrasekharan
@deepachandrasekharan
I lead Airflow ETL, cloud FinOps, and CI/CD automation for enterprise data delivery.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At ANZ, I lead engineers across New Zealand and Bangalore building Airflow-based ETL pipelines on OpenShift. I provide technical direction, drive engineering practices, and remain hands-on with Jenkins, Terraform, Unix shell scripting, and Python.
I built an in-house, event-driven CloudFinOps framework on GCP using Cloud Build and Terraform, automating the shutdown and startup of cloud services during weekends, public holidays, and Christmas shutdowns to deliver considerable cost savings.
Across ANZ, NTT DATA, Wipro, and IBM, I’ve built data pipelines and Teradata warehouse solutions for finance and telecom, from SQL performance tuning and data migration to automated testing and DevOps delivery. I enjoy translating business requirements into clear technical solutions and guiding engineers to deliver quality outcomes.
