Monika Dembda — Senior Software Engineer
Data Quality Engineer | Ex-Developer | GCP • Snowflake • dbt • Databricks | AI & Python About: I don’t just test data pipelines; I understand how they are built from the inside out. 🛠️ My career has been a journey of intentional evolution. I started in Manual Testing, quickly pivoted to Performance Engineering (JMeter/LoadRunner), and eventually moved into Full-Scale Development. For a year, I worked as a Data Developer, building complex ETL pipelines using Talend DI and Big Data ecosystems. While I excelled at building, I discovered my true passion lies in the "Art of the Break"—ensuring the integrity, performance, and reliability of those systems. I chose to return to Testing because I believe high-level Data Quality is the most critical (and often overlooked) piece of the modern data stack. What I bring to the table: • Developer’s Perspective: Having built ETL pipelines myself in Informatica, Talend, and Teradata, I know exactly where the logic usually fails. • Cloud Fluency: Expert in architecting validation frameworks for AWS (Databricks) and GCP (Snowflake, dbt, BigQuery). • AI-Enhanced Testing: I leverage AI and Python (Pandas/SQL) daily to automate complex data reconciliation, turning manual hours into automated seconds. • Full-Stack Quality: From Unix shell scripting to modern Cloud Data Warehousing, I ensure data is performant and production-ready. I am a Quality Engineer by choice, not by chance. I’m here to bridge the gap between "it’s built" and "it’s right."
