Vijitha Kanumuru
@vijithakanumuru
Senior Data Engineer specializing in Azure ETL/ELT, near real-time ingestion, and data modeling.
CanadaWhat I'm looking for
I bring over 7+ years of experience in Data Warehousing, Data Virtualization, Data Modeling, Big Data Analysis, and Data Science. I focus on building end-to-end data strategies that improve data management efficiency, from ingestion to storage and transformation.
In my current role, I architect and design data solutions that optimize data flow and storage, delivering a 20% improvement in system performance. I develop ingestion pipelines with PySpark, Azure Synapse Analytics, and Azure SQL Database—cutting data processing time by 30%—and implement near real-time ingestion using Azure EventHub and Stream Analytics. I also automate ELT/data engineering activities with PySpark to improve reporting and analytics outcomes, while applying strong data validation to protect integrity.
Previously, I migrated pipelines and models (including moving SQL Server assets to Snowflake) and improved analytics delivery speed by 40% through scalable idempotent pipelines using Python and SQL. I’ve also led teams and delivered complex projects such as radar image processing to extract footprint data and improve risk prediction accuracy, all while working effectively in Agile/Scrum and managing CI/CD with Azure DevOps.
