@nahomkenna
Experienced Data Engineer specializing in cloud pipelines, analytics, and real-time data.
What I'm looking for
I am a data engineer with a decade of experience building enterprise-grade data infrastructure and pipelines. My expertise spans cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure), large-scale ETL systems, and modern data tools like Snowflake, Databricks, Airflow, dbt, and Spark. I've led cross-functional teams to deliver real-time analytics, mentored engineers, and implemented MLOps workflows to streamline ML model deployment and reproducibility using MLflow and Databricks.
Throughout my career, I’ve engineered robust data lakes using S3, Delta Lake, and Apache Iceberg, built event-driven architectures using Kafka and AWS Lambda, and optimized warehouse performance across Redshift, BigQuery, and Athena. I've also architected monitoring and orchestration solutions using Prefect, Dagster, Prometheus, and the ELK stack to ensure data reliability at scale.
