What I'm looking for

I seek roles building scalable, cloud-based data platforms where I can optimize pipelines, reduce costs, and collaborate cross-functionally for measurable business impact.

I am a results-driven Data Engineer with over five years of experience designing, building, and optimizing large-scale data pipelines, cloud data warehouses, and ETL workflows across Banking, Energy, and Automobile domains.

I specialize in PySpark, Apache Spark, Hadoop, Snowflake, Databricks, AWS and Azure, and have delivered measurable outcomes such as 40% faster data processing and 25% reduced infrastructure costs through pipeline optimization and efficient warehouse design.

I collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into scalable, cost-efficient data solutions, and I bring leadership, documentation, and operational rigor to ensure reliable, production-ready data platforms.
