I help ecommerce brands, restaurant chains, and retail groups stop guessing and start reading their numbers at a glance. With 8+ years in data and BI, I turn messy Shopify, POS, and store data into a clean warehouse, dashboards your team actually uses, and an AI copilot that answers business questions in plain English. Here is what makes my work different: I add a chat-with-data layer on top of governed analytics. Instead of learning Power BI, a store manager or founder can just ask "how did each region do vs last month?" and get the right answer, backed by real SQL. The AI runs on a local model on your own infrastructure, so your data never leaves your environment and there are no per-query API fees. Every metric is defined once and protected by automated tests, so numbers do not silently drift between reports. A bit of my background: Senior BI Developer building end-to-end enterprise Power BI: dashboards, semantic models, star-schema data models, DAX optimization, and row-level security. Senior Data Analyst at Pizza Hut Vietnam, where I led the reporting redesign from SSRS to Power BI and grew internal BI adoption by 82% year over year. I also built RFM segmentation, churn prediction, pricing models, and demand forecasting, and trained restaurant managers directly. Independent analytics engineering: full pipelines using dbt, Airflow, and WrenAI text-to-SQL on a local LLM, delivered as governed, self-hosted platforms. Core stack: SQL (advanced), Snowflake, BigQuery, PostgreSQL, Python (pandas), Power BI, Superset, dbt, Airflow, and WrenAI for natural-language analytics. Strengths in dimensional modeling, metric governance, KPI dashboards, and turning data into decisions. How I like to start: a fixed-price pilot on your own data (usually 1 to 2 weeks). I connect one source, model your top KPIs, and deliver one dashboard plus a working chat-with-data copilot, so you see the result before committing to a full build. If you want analytics your whole team can trust and actually use, send me a message and tell me about your data. I am happy to show a live demo of the copilot in action.

Updated on [24/08/26] I build ETL and ELT pipelines on BigQuery, Snowflake, and PostgreSQL using Python, SQL, dbt, and Airflow, then turn them into Power BI and Tableau reporting the business can trust. Most dashboard problems are not dashboard problems. A number that does not match what someone counted by hand usually broke three steps earlier, in ingestion or a transformation nobody tested. That is where I spend my time, and the chart at the end is the easy part. What I work with: Pipelines and orchestration: Airflow, Mage AI, dbt, Python, SQL, PySpark Warehouses: BigQuery, Snowflake, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse Streaming: Kafka, PyFlink, event-time processing Cloud: AWS Lambda, S3, EventBridge, SNS, Docker, FastAPI Reporting: Power BI, Tableau AI and LLM: RAG systems, Qdrant, Ollama, local model workflows How I build: Transformations get structured bronze through gold as dbt models, with schema tests and business rule checks written into the models themselves, so a broken assumption gets caught in the pipeline instead of by whoever opens the report next. Bad records go to a quarantine bucket rather than sitting quietly in a table someone trusts. Failures alert instead of failing silently.Reporting comes after the data is solid. I build around the one question the business needs answered, not a stack of generic rollups nobody reads. When the need is document search rather than dashboards, I build RAG systems that score their own retrieval accuracy, so a weak answer gets flagged instead of handed over as confident nonsense. Recent work: A district-level KPI dashboard on Snowflake and Power BI built from layered dbt models. Incremental dbt pipelines feeding logistics and lending risk reporting. A real-time Kafka and PyFlink pipeline with event-time processing sinking to PostgreSQL.

What does a Talend data Integration specialist do?

A Talend data integration specialist builds and configures data pipelines using Talend Studio to move information from source systems into target databases. This role focuses on designing the logic that extracts raw data, applies necessary transformations, and loads the clean results into their final destination. The specialist uses visual components to map fields and define how data changes during transit without writing extensive custom code. They validate these workflows to guarantee accuracy before deploying them for regular use.

  • Designs and builds Talend Studio Jobs that act as end-to-end data integration pipelines. The specialist connects source components to target components to create a clear path for data movement. They configure each step in the flow to handle specific extraction and loading requirements for the project.
  • Defines source-to-target mappings that specify exactly how columns in one system relate to columns in another. This work involves setting up transformation logic such as joins, filters, and data type conversions. The specialist uses tools like the tMap component to implement complex join and lookup operations within the pipeline.
  • Tests and validates integration artifacts during the development phase to catch errors early. The specialist runs jobs in a test environment to verify that the mapping logic produces the expected output. They correct expressions and adjust configurations until the data flows correctly and passes all validation checks.
  • Prepares Talend artifacts for execution by organizing jobs and pipelines within the project structure. This ensures that the integration logic is packaged correctly for deployment to production environments. The specialist delivers these deployment-ready assets so other teams can run the data processes reliably.

How to hire a Talend data Integration specialist on Upwork

Step 1: Post a job

Define your data pipeline requirements clearly to attract qualified specialists. Use the Job Post Generator powered by Umaโ„ข, Upwork's Mindful AI to draft a precise description. Describe your needs in a few sentences and Uma drafts a job post for the role. You can write a new post, update a saved draft, or reuse an existing post.

  • Specify the source systems and target databases the specialist must connect using Talend Studio Jobs.
  • List required transformation logic such as joins and lookups that the candidate must configure in tMap components.
  • State whether the work involves Talend Cloud Data Integration or on-premise Studio deployments to clarify the environment.

Step 2: Evaluate candidates

Review portfolios for evidence of complex mapping designs and validated integration artifacts. Uma can run instant video interviews and build shortlists with side-by-side comparisons to help you assess technical fit quickly.

  • Look for examples of source-to-target mappings that demonstrate clear transformation rules and join operations.
  • Check for validated Talend Studio Jobs that show successful data movement from diverse sources to specific targets.
  • Verify experience with component configuration where the freelancer explains how they optimized data flow performance.

Step 3: Interview your top choices

Discuss specific technical challenges related to your data architecture and transformation needs. Interviews can be scheduled and conducted within Upwork Messages with an immediate transcript and summary after each one.

  • Ask how the candidate handles error routing and data validation within Talend Job executions.
  • Request examples of how they debug failed mappings or resolve schema mismatches during development.
  • Discuss their approach to packaging deployment-ready artifacts for your production environment.

Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work

Set clear milestones for building and testing data integration pipelines before full deployment. Use Upwork Messages and the contract workroom for communication and project management, plus identity verification, payment protection, hourly tracking, and project funds for security.

  • Define deliverables such as configured tMap components and tested Jobs that meet your transformation logic requirements.
  • Establish milestones for completing source-to-target mappings and validating them against sample data sets.
  • Agree on the format for exporting final Talend project artifacts so your team can deploy them easily.
