I help businesses build scalable data pipelines, backend systems, cloud applications, and AI-powered solutions that are designed to work reliably in production.
I’m a Platform Lead and software engineer with hands-on experience building high-throughput data platforms, backend services, cloud infrastructure, and modern AI applications. I work across Python, Java, Node.js, AWS, Kafka, Spark, Databricks, Kubernetes, and AI/LLM technologies.
I also built SolutionGigs, my own technology platform where I build and launch practical web tools, applications, content, and developer-focused solutions. Building my own product has given me experience across the complete lifecycle — architecture, development, cloud deployment, performance optimization, troubleshooting, and continuous improvement.
What I can help you with
🚀 Data Engineering & ETL — PySpark, Kafka, AWS, Databricks, Spark
🔧 Application Troubleshooting — Debugging, performance issues, API failures, deployment problems
🏗️ Backend Development — Python, Java, Node.js, REST APIs
☁️ AWS & Cloud — S3, Lambda, Kinesis, EMR, Glue, cloud architecture
⚡ Real-Time Data Processing — Kafka, Spark Streaming, Kinesis
🤖 AI & LLM Applications — GPT, Claude, RAG, LangChain, AI-powered workflows
🌐 Full-Stack Applications — Building and deploying production-ready web applications
📈 Performance Optimization — Improving scalability, latency, reliability, and infrastructure efficiency
Some of my experience
Built data pipelines processing 10M+ events per day
Worked on high-throughput real-time streaming systems
Improved production data latency by 35%
Built and deployed AI/LLM-powered workflows
Designed cloud-based data platforms using AWS, Spark, Kafka and Databricks

🚀 Data Engineer & Solution Architect | Scaling Data Platforms 10× Without Breaking Them
I design data systems that don’t just run, they scale, perform, and stay reliable under real-world pressure.
With 7+ years building enterprise-grade platforms, I’ve seen the same story repeat:
A pipeline works at 10M records… then collapses at 100M.
Costs spiral. Latency explodes. Nobody wants to touch the legacy system.
That’s where I come in.
🧠 What I Actually Deliver
I architect cloud-native data platforms built for tomorrow not quick fixes for today.
✔ Migrate fragile legacy systems to modern, resilient architectures
✔ Design scalable data lakes and lakehouses
✔ Optimize pipelines bleeding money and compute
✔ Build real-time analytics for mission-critical decisions
✔ Create foundations ready for AI/ML workloads
Result: Systems that grow with your business instead of holding it back.
⚙️ Deep Technical Expertise Across the Stack
☁️ Cloud Platforms
AWS: Glue, EMR, Redshift, Kinesis, S3, Lambda, Lake Formation, DMS, MSK, RDS
Azure: Data Factory, Synapse, Databricks, DevOps
GCP: Dataflow, Cloud Functions, Cloud Storage
🔥 Big Data & Streaming
Apache Spark (Scala & PySpark) • Kafka • Kinesis • NiFi • Hadoop Ecosystem • Airflow • Delta Lake
💻 Programming
Python • Scala • SQL • Shell • Java
🗄️ Databases & Storage
PostgreSQL • MySQL • Oracle • SQL Server • MongoDB • Cassandra • DynamoDB • Elasticsearch
🛠️ DevOps & Infrastructure
Docker • Kubernetes • OpenShift • Terraform • Jenkins • Ansible • Git
📊 Observability & Governance
CloudWatch • ELK • Grafana • Athena
IAM • Lake Formation • Encryption • Audit Logging • Okta • Cognito
🏢 Enterprise Experience That Matters
I’ve delivered production systems for Fortune 500 organizations across finance, energy, hospitality, and SaaS handling hundreds of millions of records daily.
From ingestion → transformation → real-time analytics → security → DevOps automation — I design the full lifecycle.
🏆 Proven Impact
✔ Re-architected legacy pipelines → 5× performance boost & 60% cost reduction
✔ Built event-driven systems processing 500M+ records/day
✔ Delivered secure data lakes with row-level governance
✔ Reduced MTTR by 70% with end-to-end observability
✔ Led zero-downtime cloud migrations
✔ Secured $2B+ transaction data with encryption platforms
🤝 Best Fit For Organizations That Need
🔹 Cloud migration with strong architectural guidance
🔹 Performance or scalability bottlenecks
🔹 Data platforms for AI/ML initiatives
🔹 Multi-cloud or hybrid strategies
🔹 Long-term reliability over quick hacks
⚠️ Not a Fit For
❌ One-off scripts or basic SQL tasks
❌ Temporary data cleanup work
❌ Short-term patch solutions
I focus where architecture decisions create lasting business value.
