@lalakyadav
Data Engineer at MAQ Software who automated lakehouse-to-Power BI validation across 40 tables and 25 measures.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At MAQ Software, I built an automated verification framework that uses PySpark notebooks to reconcile Bronze and Gold Delta tables with the Power BI semantic model. Across about 40 tables and 25 measures, it replaced a roughly three-hour manual validation cycle with emailed pass/fail summaries.
I also onboarded a source system through incremental Bronze, Silver, and Gold loads, data quality checks, and fact and dimension tables. I migrated more than 120 Databricks notebooks and related assets from Hive Metastore to Unity Catalog with no downtime for existing workloads.
My work includes tuning Spark notebooks and Delta tables, writing SQL and DAX for validation and reporting, and delivering changes through Azure DevOps. I’m also a Microsoft-certified Fabric Data Engineer and Analytics Engineer, and I’m implementing unsupervised Forward-Forward Networks as a research intern at Pennsylvania State University.
