A Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years of experience building reliable, scalable data pipelines and infrastructure, from data ingestion and transformation through warehousing, streaming, and data analytics with dbt, Snowflake, Airflow across AWS, Azure, and GCP with robust ETL and ELT. 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, 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, Medallion Architecture, partitioning, and performance tuning. โ Data Transformation & Modeling: dbt (Core and Cloud), SQLMesh, Spark and PySpark, 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. ------------------------------------------------------ โ๏ธTech Stack: โก Warehouses & Lakehouse: Snowflake | BigQuery | Redshift | Databricks | Microsoft Fabric | Delta Lake | Iceberg โก Transformation: dbt | SQLMesh | Spark | PySpark | Star Schema | Medallion Architecture โก Orchestration: Airflow (GCP Cloud Composer and AWS MWAA) | Dagster | Prefect | Azure Data Factory โก Streaming: Kafka | Flink | Kinesis | Pub/Sub | Spark Structured Streaming | ClickHouse โก Ingestion: Fivetran | Airbyte | Matillion | Stitch | Hevo | Meltano | CDC โก Cloud: AWS | GCP | Azure โก Languages: Python | SQL (Snowflake, BigQuery, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL) | FastAPI โก Databases: PostgreSQL | MySQL | SQL Server | DynamoDB | MongoDB โก BI & Reporting: Looker | Tableau | Power BI | GA4 | Metabase | Superset | Streamlit | Grafana ------------------------------------------------------ โญ What Clients Say: ๐ "Adarsh rebuilt our analytics pipeline on Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, giving us reliable, version-ready data.

PostgreSQL FAQs
What is PostgreSQL?
In the world of databases, PostgreSQL (pronounced Post-gress-cue-el) is the most advanced and extensible of the major RDBMSs. What separates PostgreSQL from alternatives like MySQL and SQLite is its support for concepts from object-oriented programming. This makes it well suited to handling some of the most complex and high-volume data operations in the world, which is why itโs been trusted by Facebook, Skype, Apple, Instagram, Yahoo!, as well as a number of financial institutions, telecom services, and government agencies, including the US State Department.
If you need a database installation capable of supporting multi-petabyte databases and processing billions of events per day, PostgreSQL may be just the ticket.
The main thing to know about PostgreSQL is that itโs an object-relational database. As with a vanilla relational database, an object-relational database stores data in tables that can be queried using a language like SQL. The difference is that it also introduces some concepts from object-oriented programming that you donโt find in other relational databases, including user-defined objects and table inheritance. Other features include:
- PostgreSQL supports truly massive databases. In fact, thereโs no maximum database size in PostgreSQL, and individual tables can be up to 32 terabytes a piece with upwards of 250 columns. Even individual fields can contain up to a gigabyte of data.
- Itโs also ACID Compliant by default. Other RDBMSs can be made ACID compliant with certain extensions (MySQL, for instance), but PostgreSQL is designed for it out-of-the-box.
- It has a high level of programming language support on the server side. Out of the box it supports Python, Perl, and Tcl, and can be extended to work with C, C++, R, Ruby, Java, Javascript, .NET, and more.
When should you consider switching to PostgreSQL? Before we get to that, you might ask yourself three questions to help figure out if itโs right for you:
- Is your data complex? (Ie, do you have exotic data types like JSON objects, geometric objects, or IPv4/6 addresses? Do you need support for data structures composed of other objects?)
- Do you have a lot of it? (Ie, do you need to process millions or even billions of events per day or do you need to store petabytes worth of data?)
- Do you care a lot about data integrity and compliance? (Ie, do you need out-of-the-box ACID compliance and support for additional constraints, like primary and foreign keys, unique constraints, not-null constraints, etc.?)
If you answered yes to these questions, then PostgreSQL could be worth talking to a PostgreSQL expert.
PostgreSQL vs. MySQL
Choosing a database management system comes down to deciding between a few key tradeoffs: Do you want a database that has more features but might require more work on your end, or do you want something thatโs easy to set up and use but which might place some constraints on what kind of data you can store and what you can do with it. In the world of SQL databases there are a few standouts, and today weโre going to look at two of them: PostgreSQL and MySQL.
Thereโs a lot of overlap between MySQL and PostgreSQL, but developers on these database platforms may have divergent skill sets. MySQL developers are more likely to have experience building databases to support web apps, multimedia sites, and e-commerce platforms. If part of your product is your dataโif youโre building a recommendation engine, for example, or need to perform complex analyticsโthen youโre probably looking for someone with PostgreSQL experience.
MySQL overview
What makes MySQL the go-to option for so many people? In short, itโs kind of the Goldilocks option among SQL platforms: While not as feature-rich or extensible as PostgreSQL, it has just the right balance of features and capabilities that itโs just right for a wide variety of applications.
Some of MySQLโs key features:
- Itโs widely used and easy to set up.
- Itโs reasonably flexible and highly scalable.
- Itโs extremely fast, especially for highly concurrent, read-only operations. This makes it a very good tool to work with many BI applications.
- Itโs platform independent and cloud-ready. No matter how your operation works youโll be able to get MySQL up and running on it.
- Itโs partially SQL compliant.
- The InnoDB engine adds ACID compliance and multiversion concurrency control.
- It may be easier to find support for MySQL since there are so many developers who have experience using it.
MySQL, Oracle, and MariaDB
Oracle acquired MySQL in 2010 and while it remains the most popular open-source database platform, there have been concerns among some developers about MySQLโs ongoing support and status as an open-source project moving forward. After the Oracle acquisition, a number of the original MySQL developers created a new fork of MySQL called MariaDB.
Their close kinship means MariaDB has many of the same advantages as MySQL, and it maintains a high level of drop-in compatibility, meaning MySQL developers interested in switching over may do so without losing much (or any) functionality.
PostgreSQL overview
If MySQL is a highly fuel-efficient mid-market sedan, PostgreSQL is sort of like a diesel-powered off-road jeep. It has more capabilities and support for extreme use cases, but itโs probably not necessary if youโre going to the grocery.
Here are some of PostgreSQLโs key features:
- Itโs object-relational. Unlike pure RDBMSs, PostgreSQL borrows some concepts from object-oriented programming, including user-defined objects and table inheritance.
- Itโs optimized for complex queries. PostgreSQL excels when performing complex read-write operations with data that needs to be validated, but it can lag somewhat when it comes to read-only operations.
- Itโs mostly SQL compliant. Out of 179 core features of the SQL standard, it meets 160 of them, plus a number of optional features.
- It supports exotic and custom data types. PostgreSQL provides native support for a huge number of data types by default, including JSON, XML, and H-Store, making it one of the few relational database with wide support for NoSQL features.
- Itโs built for truly massive databases. In fact, thereโs no maximum database size in PostgreSQL, and individual tables can be up to 32 terabytes a piece with upwards of 250 columns. Even individual fields can contain up to a gigabyte of data.
- It uses multiversion concurrency control. MVCC allows multiple readers and writers to work on the database at the same time, rather than enforcing a read-write lock policy.
- Itโs transactional and ACID compliant. Among database platforms, PostgreSQL is known for protecting data integrity at the transaction level. This makes it less vulnerable to data corruption than some other platforms. Itโs supported by an active dev community that regularly adds new features. That said, it is less popular than MySQL, which can make finding a managed PostgreSQL instance more of a challenge.
