Technical Skills
Work Experience
- Engineered scalable end-to-end ETL/ELT pipelines using Azure Data Factory and Databricks to ingest and process 100GB+ of manufacturing data daily, enabling centralized analytics across the enterprise.
- Improved pipeline throughput by 35% through Spark and Delta Lake tuning—implemented broadcast joins, partitioning, caching, Z-order indexing and targeted compaction to reduce job runtimes.
- Reduced pipeline failures by over 30% by designing automated data validation, retry logic, and monitoring alerts that decreased incident recurrence and sped up mean time to resolution.
- Implemented Unity Catalog for fine-grained access control, schema enforcement and lineage tracking, strengthening governance and audit readiness across analytics platforms.
- Delivered a reusable Delta Lake medallion (bronze/silver/gold) architecture and standardized transformation patterns, improving downstream data reliability and developer onboarding time.
- Automated CI/CD workflows and Git-based notebook/version control to standardize deployments of Databricks jobs and ADF pipelines, reducing manual promotion errors and accelerating releases.
- Built scalable PySpark ETL pipelines to migrate and transform ~100GB/day of inventory and manufacturing data into centralized cloud storage (AWS S3), enabling cross-team analytics.
- Accelerated pipeline runtimes by ~20% by applying Spark execution plan tuning, partitioning strategies and SQL optimizations that reduced compute costs and job latency.
- Developed modular, reusable PySpark and SQL transformation components (joins, aggregations, windowing, business logic) to shorten development cycles for new pipelines.
- Implemented data validation checks and root-cause analysis processes to improve production reliability and reduce time-to-detect for data quality issues.
- Collaborated with cross-functional stakeholders to translate business rules into transformation logic and SCD handling, ensuring analytics correctness for inventory use cases.
- Documented ETL designs, schemas and runbooks to support operational handover and consistent maintenance of production pipelines.
- Completed intensive training in Python, SQL, PySpark and Databricks and delivered foundational ETL pipeline projects applying transformation and analysis techniques to enterprise-scale datasets.
- Implemented PySpark notebooks demonstrating joins, aggregations, window functions and basic SCD logic as part of capstone ETL exercises.
- Designed Bronze/Silver/Gold medallion layer patterns in Delta Lake during labs to illustrate progressive refinement and query performance improvements.
- Authored SQL queries and transformation scripts for data validation and basic unit testing of ETL outputs to ensure correctness in training projects.
- Used Git for source control and documented pipeline architecture, transformation logic and run procedures to support knowledge transfer.
- Presented capstone ETL solutions to trainers and received positive evaluations for correctness, design clarity and readiness for production handover.
