About

I thrive on uncovering patterns in data and engineering scalable solutions. With a passion for big data engineering, I specialize in designing, building, and optimizing data pipelines that enable seamless data migration, processing, and analytics across GCP and Azure. My expertise spans Hadoop, Apache Spark, PySpark, SQL, and NoSQL databases, allowing me to handle large-scale data processing efficiently. I leverage Apache Airflow for workflow orchestration, ensuring automation, monitoring, and reliability in pipeline execution. Additionally, I work extensively with BigQuery, Dataflow, Dataproc, Azure Data Factory, Synapse Analytics, and Databricks, building cost-effective and high-performance data solutions for real-time & batch data processing. Beyond work, I am a continuous learner, always exploring new technologies and optimizing data solutions. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, going to the gym, and cooking. I also love connecting with professionals to discuss big data, cloud technologies, and emerging trends in AI and analytics.
