I’m a Data Analyst and Azure Data Engineer focused on reliable, real-time insights.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Data Analyst with 1.9 years of experience in ETL/ELT pipeline development, data engineering, and financial data analysis. I build production-grade data solutions and use Azure and analytics tools to turn messy inputs into trusted insights.
In Azure Data Factory and Azure Databricks, I develop and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines that ingest data from REST APIs, Azure SQL, and SFTP into a Data Lake. I use PySpark and Spark SQL to structure data with Medallion Architecture (Bronze, Silver, Gold) and monitor daily runs with Azure Monitor and Synapse Analytics to proactively troubleshoot failures.
I’ve resolved 100+ data quality issues in Databricks by implementing corrective logic and validation checks, significantly improving reliability for downstream reporting. In finance support, I analyzed 1,000+ transactions using SQL and Excel to detect anomalies and flag high-risk entries, and I built Power BI dashboards with KPI cards and drill-through filters for real-time stakeholder monitoring.
