I'm a Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years of strong technical expertise in building reliable and scalable data infrastructure, from data ingestion to transformation to warehousing, streaming, and data analytics, specializing in dbt, Snowflake, Airflow, Databricks (and more) across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with robust ELT and ETL pipelines. If your data pipelines are brittle, your data warehouse is slow, or your data was never built to scale, that is exactly what I fix, with fault tolerance, observability, and audit-ready quality engineered in from day one. I cover the full data engineering lifecycle: batch and real-time data pipelines, Modern Data Stack builds, lakehouse architecture, cloud and warehouse data migration, governance, and the data foundations that feed modern systems. 🎯 Core Expertise: ✅ Data Pipelines & Orchestration: End-to-end batch and real-time pipelines with Apache Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, AWS Step Functions, and Azure Data Factory. Idempotent, schema-drift tolerant, and monitored so failures surface before they reach your stakeholders. ✅ Cloud Warehousing & Lakehouse: Snowflake, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric, with Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg lakehouse foundations governed through the Glue Data Catalog and Lake Formation, with Athena and Redshift Spectrum for serverless queries, Medallion Architecture, partitioning, and performance tuning. ✅ Data Transformation & Modeling: dbt (Core and Cloud), SQLMesh, Spark and PySpark on EMR and AWS Glue, Star Schema and dimensional modeling, analytics engineering best practices, full test coverage, and CI/CD for data models. ✅ Streaming & Real-Time Analytics: Distributed streaming with Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, Kinesis, and Pub/Sub, including exactly-once semantics, dead-letter queues, CDC, and end-to-end latency guarantees. ✅ Data Ingestion & Integration: Fivetran, Airbyte, Matillion, Stitch, Hevo, Meltano, and custom CDC pipelines for near-real-time sync across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured sources. ✅ Data Quality, Governance & Observability: Automated data quality frameworks, SLA monitoring, auditable lineage, data catalog and metadata management, and observability that catches bad data early. ✅ Cloud Migration & Modernization: Zero-downtime migration handled end to end, from legacy warehouse assessment through cutover, with zero data loss and minimal downtime, replacing brittle ETL and ELT with a clean Modern Data Stack. ✅ AI-Ready Data Infrastructure: Pipelines engineered to feed LLMs and ML systems with clean, structured, high-quality data, from ingestion through transformation to serving. ------------------------------------------------------ ⚙️Tech Stack: ⚡ Warehouses & Lakehouse: Snowflake | BigQuery | Redshift | Databricks | Microsoft Fabric | Athena | Delta Lake | Iceberg ⚡ Transformation: dbt | SQLMesh | Spark | PySpark | AWS Glue | EMR | Star Schema | Medallion Architecture ⚡ Orchestration: Airflow (GCP Cloud Composer and AWS MWAA) | Dagster | Prefect | Azure Data Factory | Step Functions ⚡ Streaming: Kafka | Flink | Kinesis | Pub/Sub | Spark Structured Streaming | ClickHouse ⚡ Ingestion: Fivetran | Airbyte | Matillion | Stitch | Hevo | Meltano | CDC ⚡ Governance & Catalog: Glue Data Catalog | Lake Formation | Unity Catalog | Microsoft Purview | Dataplex ⚡ Cloud: AWS | GCP | Azure ⚡ Languages: Python | SQL (Snowflake, BigQuery, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL) | FastAPI ⚡ Databases: PostgreSQL | MySQL | SQL Server | DynamoDB | MongoDB ⚡ BI & Reporting: Looker | Tableau | Power BI | GA4 | Metabase | Superset | Streamlit | Grafana ------------------------------------------------------ ⭐ What Clients Say: 🏅 "Adarsh rebuilt our analytics pipeline on Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, giving us reliable, version-ready data.

Senior Data Engineer and AI Engineer with 15+ years in data engineering, AI engineering, and cloud data platforms. I build production data pipelines, ETL workflows, LLM and RAG systems, and machine learning infrastructure on AWS, GCP, Azure, Snowflake, Databricks, and Apache Spark. Most of my data engineering work is end to end. I take a messy data problem, or an AI feature that "almost works," and turn it into something reliable that runs in production without someone babysitting it. After 15+ years as a data engineer, you learn the hard part is rarely the model or the framework. It's the data, the edge cases, the pipelines, and keeping the system maintainable once you've handed it over. As an AI engineer I treat LLM and RAG work the same way: take a prototype that almost holds together and make it a production AI system that survives real traffic, real users, and real data. Recent data engineering and AI engineering projects: - An AI inbound phone system built on Twilio with OpenAI Whisper and GPT-4, handling real-time voice intake and call routing. - Enterprise Power BI data models for healthcare and financial reporting, around 30 tables and 40+ DAX measures, including IFRS 9 staging, RAROC, and NIM trends. - HL7 FHIR R4 integrations with Epic, Cerner, and Athenahealth for a clinical AI platform. - Cut LLM inference cost on a high-volume voice product by 25% by reworking how it used the OpenAI Realtime API and its per-turn token replay. Data engineering: Apache Spark, PySpark, dbt, Apache Airflow, ETL and ELT pipelines, data warehousing, data modeling, Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Delta Lake, Kafka, Kinesis, Fivetran. AI engineering and machine learning: OpenAI GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, LangChain, LlamaIndex, RAG pipelines, AI agents, prompt engineering, vector search (Pinecone, Weaviate, pgvector), PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn, MLflow, model deployment. Cloud and DevOps: AWS (Glue, EMR, Lambda, Redshift, SageMaker, Athena), GCP (BigQuery, Dataflow, Vertex AI), Azure (Synapse, Data Factory, Azure ML), Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes, GitHub Actions. Automation and integration: n8n, Make, Power Automate, REST and GraphQL APIs. Governance and compliance: GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, RBAC, PII masking, encryption, data lineage. Languages: Python, SQL, Scala, PySpark, FastAPI, Flask. How I work: I'd rather ask the right questions up front than build the wrong thing quickly. I'll tell you when something is a bad idea, give you timelines I can keep, and leave you with code and documentation your own team can maintain. I've delivered data engineering and AI engineering projects for startups and enterprises across the US, Europe, and Asia. If you're looking to hire a data engineer or AI engineer who can own the work end to end, from raw data pipeline to production AI system, I'm available now. Tell me what you're building and I'll give you a straight answer on how I'd approach it.
