What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a Data Engineering role in Qatar where I can own production ETL/ELT pipelines, build reliable cloud data foundations, and deliver both batch and real-time data workflows that power BI and ML use cases.

I’m a Data Engineer with hands-on, production-grade experience designing and operating end-to-end ETL/ELT systems, distributed data pipelines, and cloud data infrastructure across freelance, internship, and institutional settings.

I work confidently with Python, SQL, and PySpark, leveraging Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow, and Databricks for both batch and real-time processing at scale. I also build reliable data foundations for ML models, BI dashboards, and AI/LLM-driven applications.

In my current work, I own and manage structured organizational datasets end-to-end—improving data accessibility and integrity through automated reporting pipelines, systematic data validation, cleaning, and reconciliation. I’ve also led the development of a Finance Management Automation System by coordinating directly with stakeholders on requirements and rollout.

Beyond institutional impact, I deliver scalable pipelines for international clients using Spark, Kafka, Airflow, and cloud-native stacks like GCP/AWS with BigQuery and Snowflake. I’m excited to bring this engineering depth to a Data Engineering role in Qatar, especially where I can keep building dependable, version-controlled pipelines that teams can trust.
