I'm looking to lead analytics, data engineering, AI automation, or operations manager/transformation work where I can build scalable data products, develop teams, improve decision-making, and deliver measurable operational impact.

Data Engineering Lead @ Google | 9+ yrs building pipelines, AI agents & dashboards that drive real ops impact
What I'm looking for
I've spent 9+ years inside Google's operations ecosystem, building the data infrastructure and analytics layer that keeps large-scale ops teams honest — from cloud-based pipeline migrations and near real-time processing, to executive dashboards that land in VP reviews every week.
Currently a Data Engineering Lead at Google Operations Center, I manage a cross-functional team of 18+ analysts and data engineers across 5 workstreams, owning hiring, performance cycles, and OKR alignment while maintaining 95%+ on-time delivery to 15+ VP and Director stakeholders. I've built 3 LLM-powered AI agents that automate quality checks and code reviews, delivered 10+ executive dashboards used daily by 200+ ops staff, and led a 180+ table data pipeline migration on GCP — completed a full quarter ahead of schedule. Together, my automation and process work has driven cost savings equivalent to 3.2 FTE annually.
Before Google, I led research and analytics at Concentrix and built transactional quality frameworks for 500+ agents at Cognizant — work that sharpened my grounding in Six Sigma (Green Belt, ISI Delhi), root cause analysis, and operational excellence across WBR/MBR/QBR cycles.
I like turning ambiguous business problems into structured data products — and building the Centres of Excellence and quality frameworks that outlast my direct involvement. I'm PMP-certified (in progress) and Google AI Professional certified, with hands-on skill in SQL, ETL, BigQuery, Tableau/Looker Studio, and GenAI-powered workflow automation.
