Sophiya Rijal

I am a Senior Data Engineer with over seven years designing and operating scalable, cloud-native data platforms across retail, banking, and insurance domains.

I have deep experience in distributed systems, real-time streaming, and large-scale batch processing using Spark, Kafka, Hadoop, and cloud services on AWS and Azure, with additional exposure to GCP.

I lead cloud migrations, CI/CD automation, and governance-driven engineering, operationalizing machine learning models and building low-latency streaming pipelines that drive analytics and personalization.

I mentor junior engineers, define technical best practices, and deliver cost-efficient, highly available data architectures leveraging tools like Glue, EMR, Redshift, Terraform, Kubernetes, and monitoring solutions to ensure performance and compliance.
