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.
๐ฏ Core Expertise:
โ 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.
โ 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.
โ 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.
โ 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.
โ 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.
โ Data Quality, Governance & Observability: Automated data quality frameworks, SLA monitoring, auditable lineage, data catalog and metadata management, and observability that catches bad data early.
โ 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.
โ AI-Ready Data Infrastructure: Pipelines engineered to feed LLMs and ML systems with clean, structured, high-quality data, from ingestion through transformation to serving.

If your data team spends more time fixing pipelines than reading insights, that's not a people problem โ it's an infrastructure problem.
I'm a Top Rated Analytics Engineer with 6+ years building data infrastructure that operations teams actually rely on. I've worked across fintech (Zeta), agri-tech (Nurture.Farm / UPL), and growth-stage startups โ designing warehouse architectures, building dbt pipelines, and creating dashboards that drive real decisions.
Two results that tell you what I actually do:
โฆ Reduced a critical Redshift model runtime from 8 minutes to 40 seconds by redesigning sort keys, unique keys, and materialization strategy โ unblocking daily reporting for an entire product team.
โฆ Cut machine breakdown response time from 48 hours to 24 hours for 93% of a 500+ machine fleet through real-time alerting dashboards connected to live operational data.
What I build for clients:
โฆ Cloud data warehouses on Redshift and BigQuery โ structured in dbt with full lineage, tests, and documentation
โฆ Airflow-orchestrated pipelines that run on schedule and alert you when they don't
โฆ Tableau, Power BI, Looker Studio, and Superset dashboards built around the decision, not the data
โฆ Data quality frameworks with row-level validation and automated monitoring
โฆ Real-time analytics pipelines using AWS Athena, Python automation, and SQL
I work best with founders, data leads, and product teams who want analytics to be a competitive advantage, not a maintenance burden. I document everything, communicate proactively, and deliver what I said I would โ when I said I would.
If you have a data pipeline, warehouse, or dashboard problem โ send me a message. I'll tell you within 24 hours whether I can fix it and exactly how.
