About

I'm a Data Engineer with over 3.5 years of hands-on experience in building and optimizing scalable, real-time, and batch data pipelines using Python, Spark, SQL, and AWS. I specialize in designing robust data architectures that empower data-driven decision-making, enhance observability, and ensure data integrity across distributed systems. led initiatives to implement CDC frameworks, optimize Delta Lake storage, and improve analytics query performance by over 60%. My work helped reduce data staleness by 80% and latency by 33%, contributing to faster, more reliable insights for multiple teams. I also have a strong track record from my time at Impetus, where I built high-throughput ETL pipelines, reduced processing time by 90%, and implemented monitoring solutions that improved uptime and incident response. I hold Databricks certifications in Data Engineering and Machine Learning and have built deep technical experience across cloud platforms (AWS), data lakes (Delta Lake), orchestration (Airflow), and observability (Prometheus, Grafana). Always eager to solve complex problems, collaborate cross-functionally, and continuously learn — I’m open to connecting with fellow data professionals, product teams, and anyone passionate about scalable data systems.
