At Quantex IT, I have worked across Azure, AWS, Databricks, and Snowflake to turn raw data into reliable, businessโ€‘ready data products. I design and optimize distributed ETL/ELT pipelines using PySpark, Databricks, and SQL for both batch and streaming architectures. My work includes building realโ€‘time ingestion with Apache Kafka and Spark Structured Streaming, orchestrating workflows with Airflow, Azure Data Factory, and AWS Glue, and integrating REST APIs to support lowโ€‘latency, scalable use cases. ๐—ž๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ด๐˜๐—ต๐˜€: โ— Architecting data solutions on ๐—”๐—ช๐—ฆ (S3, Glue, Redshift, Athena, Lambda, Step Functions) and ๐—”๐˜‡๐˜‚๐—ฟ๐—ฒ (Data Factory, Databricks, Synapse, Purview, DevOps), with Delta Lake and Snowflake as core analytical stores. โ— Optimizing pipelines via columnar storage (Parquet/ORC), predicate pushdown, partitioning, broadcast joins, and dimensional modeling (star/snowflake schemas, SCDs). โ— Ensuring data quality and governance using ๐—š๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—˜๐˜…๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€, schema validation, Unity Catalog, Microsoft Purview, and robust monitoring/alerting with CloudWatch. ๐—ฆ๐—ฒ๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฐ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฑ ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—ป๐˜๐˜€: โ— Built a realโ€‘time data pipeline (Kafka, Spark, Snowflake) achieving subโ€‘minute latency for businessโ€‘critical reporting. โ— Migrated legacy jobs to a modern AWSโ€‘native stack, improving reliability and reducing operational effort. โ— Developed and maintained 20+ interactive dashboards and KPI monitors in Power BI and Tableau, enabling dataโ€‘driven decisions across multiple business units.
