IndiaWhat I'm looking for
Data Engineer with 10+ years in technology, including 4 years focused on large-scale data pipelines and lakehouse architecture on Azure. I design and operate Medallion Architecture (Bronze-Silver-Gold) pipelines processing 5+ TB daily for telecom clients, achieving 99.8% data accuracy and 99% pipeline reliability. My core stack is Azure Databricks, PySpark, Delta Lake, ADF, and Synapse, with hands-on experience in Delta Live Tables, Unity Catalog, SCD Type-2 modeling, and Apache Iceberg for auditability.
I build production-grade data quality frameworks (null checks, reconciliation, variance detection) that have cut incident rates by 85% for enterprise clients, and I'm comfortable owning a pipeline end-to-end — ingestion, transformation, orchestration, CI/CD via Azure DevOps, and governance.
Recent project: built a real-time healthcare data pipeline on Databricks DLT with structured streaming, automated data quality expectations, and Unity Catalog governance — from patient admission ingestion to analytics-ready Gold tables for hospital capacity planning.
Available for Azure/Databricks pipeline builds, ADF-to-Databricks migrations, data quality framework implementation, and lakehouse architecture consulting.
