IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented senior data engineering professional with strong expertise in PySpark and SQL for large-scale data processing. My daily work centers on Snowflake (dynamic tables, stored procedures, functions, tasks) and building optimized, reliable ETL pipelines.
I have ~8 years of experience delivering cloud-based data solutions across Databricks, AWS (Glue, Step Functions, S3, CloudWatch, CloudFormation, Redshift) and Kafka/Delta Lake, and I have served as sole engineer on mission-critical features such as end-of-year tax win-loss statement generation for Caesars customers.
I hold Databricks Certified Data Engineer (Associate and Professional) certifications and a strong academic background (B.E. Hons, M.Tech Data Science & Engineering). I focus on performance optimization, cost reduction, and delivering production-grade data products that drive business outcomes.
