Nirmal Shahi

I am a Senior Data Engineer with over eight years of experience building, modernizing, and stabilizing large-scale cloud data platforms across GCP, AWS, and Azure. I combine deep technical expertise with a full ownership mentality to deliver reliable data ecosystems that serve executives and 100+ internal stakeholders.

I have architected platforms processing more than 1.5 TB of data daily, redesigned failing batch and streaming architectures to reduce pipeline failures by 45% and latency by 40%, and optimized Snowflake to lower warehouse costs by 32%, saving over $600K annually.

My work includes implementing Terraform IaC, enterprise CI/CD (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, Cloud Build), and robust IAM and encryption controls to meet audit and regulatory standards. I champion observability, automated retries, schema validation, and monitoring practices that significantly reduce MTTD/MTTR and operational incidents.

I mentor and grow cross-functional squads, standardize data testing and documentation, and partner with product, clinical, and security stakeholders to deliver high-impact analytics and near real-time ingestion solutions that improve decision support and care outcomes.
