What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a team where I can build scalable cloud data platforms and high-volume ETL pipelines, strengthen data governance with lineage and quality, and ship predictive analytics that drive measurable decision-making impact.

I’m a results-driven Data Engineer and Data Scientist with 5+ years designing scalable ETL pipelines, distributed data systems, and predictive models across healthcare, fintech, and government domains. At Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB), I designed and implemented Trino- and Airflow-based ETL pipelines for OSSP, integrating data from 10+ major government departments and processing terabyte-scale datasets. I also deliver dimensional data models for consistent reporting, optimize Big Data workflows, and implement governance with OpenMetadata to ensure data integrity, lineage, and metadata management.

I build analytical and machine learning solutions that support data-driven decision-making, from feature engineering and predictive modeling to large-scale data preprocessing and validation. I bring additional production experience from Data Scientist work at Algo and freelance Data Engineering for healthcare and fintech clients—delivering reliable workflow automation, optimized pipelines, and dashboards using Apache Superset. I’m Microsoft Certified (Azure Data Engineer Associate DP-700), and I’m passionate about enabling data-driven decisions at scale through robust, future-proof cloud data platforms.
