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. ๐ŸŽฏ Core Expertise: โœ… 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. โœ… 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. โœ… 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. โœ… 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. โœ… 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. โœ… Data Quality, Governance & Observability: Automated data quality frameworks, SLA monitoring, auditable lineage, data catalog and metadata management, and observability that catches bad data early. โœ… 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. โœ… AI-Ready Data Infrastructure: Pipelines engineered to feed LLMs and ML systems with clean, structured, high-quality data, from ingestion through transformation to serving. ------------------------------------------------------ โš™๏ธTech Stack: โšก Warehouses & Lakehouse: Snowflake | BigQuery | Redshift | Databricks | Microsoft Fabric | Athena | Delta Lake | Iceberg โšก Transformation: dbt | SQLMesh | Spark | PySpark | AWS Glue | EMR | Star Schema | Medallion Architecture โšก Orchestration: Airflow (GCP Cloud Composer and AWS MWAA) | Dagster | Prefect | Azure Data Factory | Step Functions โšก Streaming: Kafka | Flink | Kinesis | Pub/Sub | Spark Structured Streaming | ClickHouse โšก Ingestion: Fivetran | Airbyte | Matillion | Stitch | Hevo | Meltano | CDC โšก Governance & Catalog: Glue Data Catalog | Lake Formation | Unity Catalog | Microsoft Purview | Dataplex โšก Cloud: AWS | GCP | Azure โšก Languages: Python | SQL (Snowflake, BigQuery, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL) | FastAPI โšก Databases: PostgreSQL | MySQL | SQL Server | DynamoDB | MongoDB โšก BI & Reporting: Looker | Tableau | Power BI | GA4 | Metabase | Superset | Streamlit | Grafana ------------------------------------------------------ โญ What Clients Say: ๐Ÿ… "Adarsh rebuilt our analytics pipeline on Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, giving us reliable, version-ready data. Reporting accuracy improved overnight, and we can finally trust the numbers." โ€“ Anita, Head of Product, FinTech SaaS ๐Ÿ… "He designed a zero-downtime migration to a modern data warehouse that cut query latency by more than half while keeping our SLAs intact." โ€“ Daniel, VP of Data, AdTech Firm ๐Ÿ… "Clean architecture, solid dbt models, and Airflow pipelines running without issues for months. He brought a level of engineering discipline we hadn't seen from a data consultant before." โ€“ Mark, Director of Data Engineering, E-commerce Startup ๐Ÿ… "We came to him with a Spark pipeline costing us a fortune and delivering stale data.

A working demo and a system that survives production are two very different things. I build the second kind. Over a decade of backend engineering and 70+ completed projects on Upwork. I run Datum Brain, a software and AI engineering company, so you get one senior engineer accountable end to end, with a team behind him when the work needs it. We ship Go microservices, data pipelines, and LLM systems for FinTech, SaaS, EdTech, and AdTech clients. Recent work: ๐Ÿ›ก Real-time ad fraud detection (TrueAudience) High-concurrency Go backend that scores ad traffic to catch bots before advertisers pay. 80M+ events, under 20ms decisions. Go, TimescaleDB, real-time pipelines. ๐Ÿฆ Go microservices for an EMI and payments platform (Zolvat) Ledger logic, payment flows, and service orchestration for an installment payments platform. Go, microservices, PostgreSQL. ๐ŸŽฅ WebRTC proctoring infrastructure (Meazure / Examity) Real-time media and session orchestration for thousands of concurrent exam sessions at one of the largest US proctoring providers. Go, WebRTC, LiveKit, NATS. ๐Ÿ“Š Big data pipeline optimization (Nike) Cut processing time and compute cost on large PySpark workloads. PySpark, AWS. ๐Ÿ“„ Document intelligence platform (Centrum AI) OCR and RAG pipeline that turns unstructured documents into structured, queryable data with human review. Python, FastAPI, LangChain, RAG. What I work with: Backend: Go, Python, FastAPI, gRPC, REST, PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, Redis, NATS, Kafka Data: PySpark, ETL pipelines, data quality frameworks, AWS, GCP Real-time: WebRTC, LiveKit, event streaming, high-concurrency systems AI and LLM: LangChain, LangGraph, RAG, multi-agent systems, OpenAI, Claude, evals Infra: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, nginx How I work: I scope before I quote, so you know what you are getting and when. I flag risks early instead of at the deadline. Production-ready means tested, documented, monitored, and handed over properly. Good fit if you need something that runs in production and not a proof of concept, you want one senior engineer accountable end to end, and you value clear communication and honest scoping. Not a fit if you are shopping purely on hourly rate, or the spec changes daily and nobody owns decisions. If your backend needs to handle real load, or your data or AI work needs to go from demo to product, send me a message.

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 โ†’ Silver โ†’ 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 Iโ€™ll walk you through exactly how to solve it.
