Umer Akram

I am a Senior Data Architect with 19 years of experience designing OLTP/OLAP, EDW, and data lake solutions that scale to multi-petabyte environments. I specialize in translating business needs into performant data architectures and pragmatic engineering.

I have led architecture and implementation for enterprise data warehouses, real-time data pipelines, and cloud-native analytics platforms across finance, healthcare, digital media, and supply chain domains. My designs reduced storage costs by 40% and improved retrieval times by 60% in prior engagements.

As a technical lead and consultant I build and mentor data teams, conduct architectural reviews, and run R&D initiatives to adopt new tools and techniques. I’ve delivered multiple ground-up systems using AWS, GCP, Snowflake, Azure, and big-data ecosystems to enable analytics and operational reporting.

I focus on robust data management, performance optimization, and maintainability—implementing data lakes, ETL/ELT pipelines, MDM, and monitoring practices that ensure data integrity and long-term value for organizations.
