About

Computer Science graduate from Guru Nanak Dev Engineering College, Ludhiana, with a passion for building data systems that drive real business decisions. Started my professional journey with a 6-month Android Development internship at Tech Mahindra, followed by a 6-month Data Engineering internship at Decision Point Analytics — where I discovered my interest in data pipelines, cloud platforms, and large-scale analytics. Converted to a full-time Data Engineer at Decision Point Analytics and promoted to Senior Data Engineer within 2 years — significantly faster than the typical industry timeline — a milestone I attribute to a strong work ethic, ownership mindset, and a constant hunger to learn. Currently building end-to-end data pipelines and analytics solutions using PySpark, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Delta Lake, and SQL — spanning use cases from market forecasting to promotion optimization and business intelligence dashboards. Previously served as an Executive Member at the Training & Placement Cell at college, where I developed skills in operations, coordination, and stakeholder management. Always open to connecting with fellow data professionals and exploring opportunities to build impactful data solutions.
