IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years of experience designing and operating large-scale data platforms across healthcare, hospitality, and e-commerce. I focus on measurable outcomes—cutting cloud compute costs, accelerating pipelines, and strengthening governance for PII-sensitive data.
In recent roles, I reduced monthly Snowflake compute costs by 30% through warehouse sizing optimization, query profiling, and workload management, while also improving dashboard latency. I architected end-to-end ELT workflows using Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, and AWS, and built data quality frameworks to drive zero-defect delivery to business stakeholders.
I’m comfortable owning architecture decisions and mentoring engineers, with hands-on expertise in Airflow, dbt, Snowflake, Spark, and AWS. I’ve also implemented RBAC and tag-based/direct dynamic masking to ensure regulatory compliance, and I’ve delivered fault-tolerant orchestration and performance gains across high-volume pipelines.
