Mohammed Haydar
@mohammedhaydar1
Data Engineer specializing in batch and streaming pipelines, cloud data platforms, and cost-optimized BigQuery warehouses.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Data Engineer with 4+ years of experience designing and operating batch and streaming pipelines, cloud data platforms, and data warehouses across banking, fintech, and consulting. I’ve delivered TB-scale processing on GCP, reduced BigQuery costs by 25%, improved SQL execution speed by 30%+, and built 30+ executive and operational dashboards.
In my current work, I architect and maintain dbt-based data warehouse models in PostgreSQL and AWS, organizing 15+ transformations into medallion layers and reusable data marts for wealth analytics and reporting. I also build and maintain 10+ ETL/ELT pipelines, refactor performance-critical SQL to improve responsiveness, and partner with QA to validate backend logic, data accuracy, and release readiness using Django and SQL.
I’m hands-on with Python, SQL, Apache Beam, Dataflow, BigQuery, dbt, and data quality practices, with a strong focus on reliable ingestion, cost optimization, and stakeholder-ready reporting. I also teach as a Lab Instructor and Bootcamp Instructor, which sharpened my ability to translate complex engineering concepts into clear, structured guidance—something I carry into my technical documentation and data delivery standards.
