What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a GCP-focused data engineering role where I can design scalable ETL pipelines, optimize BigQuery performance, automate reporting, and deliver reliable analytics for enterprise teams.

I’m a GCP Data Engineer with 6.5+ years of experience in data engineering and ETL development, focused on building scalable data pipelines, cloud-based analytics solutions, and automation on Google Cloud Platform. I specialize in BigQuery and GCP services like Cloud Composer and Dataflow, with strong expertise in SQL, PL/SQL, and data migration.

In my recent work, I developed and optimized PL/SQL queries for financial and regulatory reporting, implemented PLX workflows, and automated reporting using TenX tools. I’ve also built GCP pipeline architectures end-to-end—developing Airflow DAGs with PySpark (basic), ingesting Kafka into BigQuery, supporting Teradata-to-GCP migrations with Qlik Replicate, and resolving production ETL issues while supporting Tableau reporting and backend processing.
