Sai Lella

I am a Senior Azure Data Engineer with over 5 years designing, developing, and maintaining scalable, secure data systems across Azure and AWS ecosystems. I build and optimize ETL/ELT pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, PySpark, and Snowflake to deliver performant data platforms.

I have hands-on experience with cloud automation and IaC—Terraform, ARM templates, CloudFormation—and CI/CD using Jenkins and Azure DevOps, plus strong data modeling skills for OLTP and OLAP using Erwin and PowerDesigner. I’ve led migrations from on-premises systems to cloud data lakes and warehouses, tuned Spark and DBT models, and implemented streaming architectures with Kafka and Spark Streaming.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, mentor junior engineers, and focus on data governance, security, and cost-performance optimization to drive analytics and business value. I seek roles where I can continue building robust, automated data platforms and support advanced analytics initiatives.
