About Iftikhar

Iftikhar H.Status: Offline
Data Engineer | ETL/ELT, Kafka, Databricks, Snowflake | AWS, Azure
Lahore, Pakistan - 11:46 am local time
Businesses lose millions to slow, broken, or unscalable data pipelines. I fix that. I'm a Principal Data Engineer and freelance data pipeline consultant with 11 years of experience building production-grade data pipelines that handle millions of events reliably from ingestion to analytics, using Apache Kafka, Airflow, Databricks and cloud platforms. With expertise in designing scalable ETL/ELT pipelines, building cloud data platforms, and optimizing high-performance data warehouses including enterprise projects for GSK, I specialize in Apache NiFi, Apache Spark, Snowflake, Python, Power BI, DBA, SQL Server, dbt, AWS, GCP and Azure. I deliver production-grade solutions enabling real-time data processing, Azure Data Factory, data lakehouse architecture, business intelligence and machine learning.

🔹 What I Can Do for You:

Database Architecture & Optimization → Design and tune high-performance data models, cutting query time from hours to minutes.

Design and build scalable data pipelines (batch + streaming) using Python, SQL, Apache Kafka, Apache Spark, Airflow, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure).

Develop data lakes, data warehouses, and lakehouse architectures that support high-performance analytics and real-time reporting.

Implement data validation, monitoring, lineage tracking, and CI/CD automation to ensure reliability and maintainability.

Optimize data workflows for cost, performance, and scalability while adhering to best practices in architecture and design.

Collaborate closely with analytics and ML teams to deliver feature-ready datasets for business intelligence and machine learning workflows.

🔹 Tech Stack:

Programming & Tools: Python (Pandas, Flask, Django, FastAPI, REST APIs), SQL, Bash Scripting, Spark
Cloud Platforms: AWS (S3, Redshift, RDS, Lambda, EMR, Athena), GCP (BigQuery, GKE, Cloud Storage), Azure
Data Engineering: Apache Kafka, Apache NiFi, Apache Airflow, Databricks, Delta Lake, Hive, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana), FluentD, Informatica (PowerCenter)
DevOps & CI/CD: Docker, Kubernetes, Linux, AWS CloudFormation, Git, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD
BI & Visualization: Power BI, Kibana, Amazon QuickSight
Others: Data Warehousing, ETL / ELT Pipelines, Real-Time Streaming, Data Integration, Data Pipelines, Microservices Architecture, Star & Snowflake Schema, Data Validation, Monitoring & Lineage, Logging & Alerting Pipelines
