What I'm looking for

I’m targeting Production Support, DataOps, and Automation roles, where operational stability and smart automation go hand in hand. I’m remote and available for U.S. time-zone overlap.

At Cognizant, I supported Snowflake, Azure Data Factory, and Azure Databricks pipelines, resolving ingestion, staging, and runtime failures. I also automated monthly KPI reporting with n8n, reducing delivery time from about five hours to 30 minutes.

At TATA Consultancy Services, I led a four-engineer production support team that sustained 94% SLA compliance across 1,100 daily data jobs. I’ve also supported Airflow-orchestrated pipelines at Amdocs and built automation workflows, REST APIs, and data integrations using tools including Python, n8n, and Snowflake.
