Hari Krishna Gudla
@harikrishnagudla
Lead Data Engineer specializing in cloud data platforms, real-time streaming, and metadata-driven data validation on Azure and AWS.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Lead Data Engineer with 12+ years designing and scaling cloud-native data platforms across Azure and AWS. I focus on the modern data stack—Snowflake, Databricks, dbt, Kafka, Spark, and Airflow—to turn complex, heterogeneous sources into reliable analytics and decision-ready datasets.
In my recent work, I led large-scale enterprise migrations into Azure Synapse using Medallion Architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold). I architected batch, incremental, API-based, and file ingestion workflows, and built an enterprise metadata-driven Data Validation Tool (schema validation, completeness, duplicate detection, and reconciliation) that was organically adopted by 5+ teams.
I also specialize in real-time streaming pipelines and pipeline observability. I’ve delivered sub-5-minute end-to-end latency processing 5M+ events/day, improved query performance by 25%, cut Snowflake compute costs by 30%, and established data quality monitoring that supports 99.9% pipeline availability—while partnering closely with stakeholders and data stewards to set governance and validation standards. I bring founder-level product experience building DBT Lens to correlate pipeline events into a unified incident timeline.
