Messy data slowing your team down? I build scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and modern cloud architectures on Azure, Databricks, Fabric, and Snowflake that turn raw, chaotic data into clean, analytics-ready systems fast and reliably. I bridge the gap between fragmented data sources and production-grade dashboards, seamlessly adapting to your existing infrastructure rather than forcing an expensive rebuild. What I Can Help You With: Data Warehouse & Lakehouse Architecture: Implementing Medallion design patterns (Bronze → Silver → Gold) using Delta Lake, Microsoft Fabric OneLake, and Snowflake. Scalable ETL/ELT Ingestion: Building automated, metadata-driven pipelines via Azure Data Factory, Fabric Pipelines, Databricks (PySpark/SQL), and dbt. Real-Time Data Streaming: Architecting low-latency workflows using Apache Kafka, Azure Event Hubs, and streaming engines. Database Design & Optimization: Performance tuning, indexing, and data modeling for PostgreSQL, Azure SQL, and cloud warehouses. Proven Project Highlights: Microsoft Fabric Incremental Pipeline: Built a control-table pattern using Get Metadata, Lookup, and ForEach loops to orchestrate zero-duplicate, quarterly ingestion from SharePoint into OneLake via Dataflow Gen2. Azure/Databricks Streaming: Developed a restaurant analytics platform processing 80,000+ events/day, cutting reporting lag from 6 hours to under 3 minutes. Kafka/Snowflake Pipeline: Engineered a real-time stock market data pipeline tracking 120+ tickers with under 8 seconds end-to-end latency. I write clean, documented code your team can maintain long-term and provide transparent daily updates. Message me with your data challenge and I’ll walk you through exactly how to solve it.

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.

🏆 TOP RATED PLUS || Top 1% on Upwork || Expert Vetted || 8+ Years of Experience || 100% Job Success Most data teams are held back by unreliable pipelines, warehouses they cannot trust, and data infrastructure that was never built to scale. That's exactly what I fix. As a Senior Data Engineer, I don't just write SQL and call it a pipeline. I architect end-to-end data systems where reliable ingestion feeds into clean, versioned transformations that power decisions your business can act on. My approach prioritizes fault tolerance, scalability, and observability across both batch processing and real-time analytics workloads. This ensures your data infrastructure is not just functional, but resilient and audit-ready. Whether you need cloud data migration, data platform modernization to a Modern Data Stack (Snowflake/dbt/Airflow, Microsoft Fabric), or streaming analytics infrastructure, I deliver production-grade systems that help technical founders and data teams eliminate pipeline debt, automate complex data workflows, and build scalable infrastructure ready for AI workloads. -------------------------- Where I make the biggest impact: ✅ I lead data migration and data platform modernization projects, replacing brittle ETL and ELT pipelines with a Modern Data Stack built on Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, and Microsoft Fabric. ✅ Every engagement includes Medallion Architecture design, full test coverage, CI/CD for data models, data lineage tracking, and documentation that outlasts the project. ✅ I design data pipelines for both batch processing and real-time analytics, idempotent, schema-drift tolerant, and monitored through data observability frameworks, so failures are caught before they reach your stakeholders. ✅ Warehouse models are built to serve the business: Star Schema, dimensional modeling, dbt projects, analytics engineering best practices, and a metrics layer backed by a data catalog and metadata management. ✅ I architect distributed systems for big data and streaming analytics, including Kafka, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, exactly-once semantics, dead-letter queues, and end-to-end latency guarantees. ✅ AI data pipelines are engineered to feed LLMs and ML systems with clean, structured, high-quality data, from ingestion through transformation to serving. ✅ I bring governance to data platforms through data mesh, data catalog implementation, metadata management, and data integration across systems. ✅ Data quality and data reliability are enforced end to end, with automated frameworks, SLA monitoring, auditable lineage, and observability that catches bad data before it reaches your stakeholders. ✅ I build AI-ready data infrastructure and lakehouse foundations, Delta Lake, Apache Iceberg, cloud data architecture, and CDC pipelines for near-real-time sync. ✅ Cloud data migration is handled end to end, from legacy warehouse assessment through cutover, with zero data loss and minimal downtime. -------------------------- What I Build With: 🗄️ Warehouses, Lakehouses & Data Lakes: Snowflake, BigQuery, Redshift, Databricks, Microsoft Fabric, Delta Lake, Iceberg ⚙️ Transformation: dbt (Core & Cloud), SQLMesh, Spark, PySpark, Star Schema, Medallion Architecture 🔁 Orchestration: Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, Azure Data Factory, Microsoft Fabric 📨 Streaming: Kafka, Kinesis, Pub/Sub, Flink, Fabric Eventstream 🔗 Ingestion: Fivetran, Airbyte, Matillion, Stitch, Hevo, Meltano, CDC pipelines ☁️ Cloud: AWS, GCP, Azure 🐍 Languages: Python, SQL (Snowflake, BigQuery, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL) 🗃️ Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, DynamoDB, MongoDB 📊 BI & Reporting: Looker, Tableau, Power BI, Metabase, Superset -------------------------- What Clients Say: ⭐ "Adarsh rebuilt our analytics pipeline on Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, giving us reliable, version-ready data.
