With over a decade of experience as a software engineer, I've specifically focused on data engineering for the past seven years. My specialty lies in SQL and Python, which facilitates efficient handling of complex data sets. Equally, my proficiency with Spark, PySpark and Scala ensures superior data processing and manipulation capabilities - essential qualities for any capable lead data engineer. Data modeling holds no mystery to me; in fact, I go beyond simple comprehension to bring Kimball and Data Vault methodologies into practice effectively. I believe in system optimization for enhanced performance, scalability, and also keeping costs down. To achieve this, I'm very comfortable working with cloud platforms like AWS or GCP. What sets me apart is my dedicated focus on using technology as an agent of scalable solutions that align with precise business requirements. Given that we live in a rapidly-evolving digital era where remote work has become crucial, my experience in remote collaboration and ability to adapt to global technologies make me the ideal fit for this role. Reach out now and let's discuss how together we can transform your functionality!

I worked as a Data Engineer and Data Analyst with around 3 years of experience in both backend and frontend development. On the backend side, I worked with Azure Databricks, Azure Data Factory, ADLS Gen2, PySpark, SQL, and Unity Catalog. We followed Medallion Architecture where raw data was stored in the Bronze layer, transformed and cleansed in the Silver layer, and business-ready curated tables were maintained in the Gold layer. I developed and maintained ETL pipelines using Azure Data Factory and PySpark notebooks in Databricks for data ingestion, transformation, validation, and aggregation. I also worked with ADLS Gen2 for data storage and Azure Key Vault for secure credential management.
