Dharun T — Data Engineer

I’m a Senior Data Engineer who thrives on transforming messy, complex data into high-performance pipelines that move the needle for businesses. With over 4 years of experience, I specialize in building scalable architectures—from traditional warehouses to modern Lakehouses—that empower teams to make data-driven decisions in real-time. ​I’m particularly passionate about modernizing legacy systems. Whether it’s refactoring pipelines with OOP principles or migrating massive on-prem environments to the cloud, my goal is always the same: make it faster, make it cleaner, and make it scalable. ​🚀 Professional Highlights ​Logistics | Massive Scale Migration: Led a migration of a 4TB SQL MI data warehouse to Databricks. I orchestrated the move of 1,400+ tables from 43+ diverse source systems (XML, JSON, XLSX, etc.), optimizing code to slash job runtimes from 8 hours down to just 40 minutes. ​Finance | Modern Data Stack: Managed a full-scale transition from Matillion to dbt. I redesigned legacy data models into a modern Snowflake-based architecture, collaborating with reporting teams to ensure seamless analytics. ​Supply Chain | Advanced Engineering: Refactored ingestion pipelines using a Python OOP framework and multi-threading mechanisms. Integrated a data quality framework for row-level validation and business metric checks against source/target systems. ​Fintech | Real-Time Analytics: Implemented Change Data Capture (CDC) for Oracle databases in Databricks using Fivetran to enable real-time financial insights. ​Data Governance: Established enterprise-grade security using Unity Catalog and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). ​🛠 Technical Arsenal ​Platforms: Azure Databricks, Snowflake, Azure Data Factory, AWS ​Languages: Python (PySpark), SQL (PL/SQL) ​Tools: dbt, Fivetran, Azure DevOps, Matillion ​Core Skills: ETL/ELT Architecture, Data Modeling, Unity Catalog, OOP Frameworks ​I’m a firm believer in "working smarter," which is why I lean heavily into automation and metadata-driven approaches. Beyond the technical stack, I enjoy mentoring my peers and keeping up with the latest in Generative AI
