What I'm looking for

I am seeking a mid-level data/Cloud engineering role where I can build scalable AWS data pipelines, improve performance and cost-efficiency, and grow into technical leadership while working collaboratively in an agile team.

I am an AWS Data Engineer with nearly four years of experience designing, deploying and managing scalable data architectures on AWS. I specialize in building ETL pipelines with AWS Glue (PySpark), orchestrating workflows with Apache Airflow/MWAA, and optimizing query performance using Amazon Athena and Redshift.

I've implemented 20+ Glue ETL pipelines and automated Airflow DAGs to reduce manual intervention by 60%, improved data accessibility by 40%, and achieved up to 35% faster Glue execution times through performance tuning. I have driven cost and efficiency improvements — for example reducing query costs and improving processing efficiency across projects.

I follow security and compliance best practices (IAM, KMS, S3 policies), use Git for version control, and collaborate across functions to integrate monitoring and incident logging. I mentor junior engineers and lead small teams to boost project efficiency and knowledge transfer.
