You probably think clicking "deploy" on Databricks from the cloud marketplace is all it takes to build a modern data stack. Instead, you get unmanageable infrastructure, skyrocketing costs, and pipelines feeding reports nobody trusts. ๐—œ ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐˜… ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜. ๐—ก๐—ผ ๐—ฎ๐—ด๐—ฒ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ฒ๐˜€, ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—ฏ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐˜.

If your data pipelines are slow, breaking, or producing dashboards your team doesnโ€™t trust โ€” I fix that. Most data engineers can build a pipeline. Fewer make sure it is fast, reliable, well-modeled, and feeding dashboards your business can actually use for decisions. Iโ€™m a Microsoft Certified Fabric Data Engineer specializing in Microsoft Fabric, Azure data pipelines, Lakehouse/Warehouse architecture, Databricks, Snowflake, and Power BI semantic models. I help teams build the full data layer: from raw source systems and APIs, to clean Bronze/Silver/Gold pipelines, to properly modeled warehouses, to Power BI dashboards that perform at scale. Recent results: * Reduced a daily pipeline runtime from 8 hours to 30 minutes * Eliminated around 95% of manual data errors by automating third-party API integrations * Saved a data team 20+ hours per week through automated monitoring and reporting * Reduced manual data preparation time by 60% with end-to-end Azure pipelines * Built Power BI dashboards for retail, sales, and supply chain clients, with 5-star client feedback What I can help with: * Microsoft Fabric pipelines, Lakehouse, Warehouse, and medallion architecture * Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Azure SQL, and Data Lake pipelines * PySpark and Spark SQL for large-scale data processing * Power BI semantic models, DAX optimization, and executive dashboards * Data modeling, star schemas, fact/dimension design, and ERDs * SQL optimization, data quality checks, and pipeline monitoring * Snowflake and dbt for modern cloud warehouse solutions How I work: * Clear communication and regular project updates * Loom walkthroughs for architecture, logic, and deliverables * Clean, documented, production-ready code your team can maintain * Strong focus on reliability, data quality, and long-term maintainability * Available for async collaboration across US, UK, and EU time zones If you need reliable pipelines, clean data models, and dashboards your team can trust, send me a message.
