Work Experience

ETech Solutions (Client: Avis Insurance)
Data Engineer (Cloud & ETL Focus)
April 2023 – May 2024
Contract data engineering for Avis Insurance — built cloud ETL/ELT pipelines and ML-ready data delivery for insurance analytics and enterprise applications.
Tech Stack: Python, PySpark, AWS Glue, Amazon S3, Amazon Redshift, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn, AWS Lambda, AWS CodePipeline, AWS CodeBuild, AWS CodeDeploy, Docker, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, CloudWatch, AWS X-Ray, AWS Secrets Manager, AWS Systems Manager Parameter Store
  • Designed and developed end-to-end ETL/ELT pipelines using PySpark and AWS Glue to ingest, clean and transform structured and unstructured insurance data into S3 and Redshift for analytics and ML consumption.
  • Built data pipelines that exposed curated datasets and model outputs via REST-ready integrations, supporting downstream reporting and ML inference workflows using Python and Scikit-learn/TensorFlow artifacts.
  • Implemented automated data profiling and validation routines with Python and PySpark to detect schema drift and data defects, improving data accuracy and trust for analytics consumers.
  • Automated CI/CD for data pipeline code and deployments using AWS CodePipeline, CodeBuild and CodeDeploy, enabling repeatable testing and faster production rollouts while reducing manual steps.
  • Containerized data processing applications with Docker and deployed scalable workloads to Amazon ECS/EKS to standardize environments and support parallel processing of large insurance datasets.
  • Integrated CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray monitoring and alerting for pipeline health and data quality drift, and applied IAM, Secrets Manager and Parameter Store best practices to enforce secure data handling.
PRR Technologies (Client: Chase Bank)
Data Operations Engineer (ETL Support)
January 2022 – July 2022
Supported production ETL operations for Chase Bank — monitored and maintained pipelines, automated workflows and improved pipeline reliability for banking reporting and analytics.
Tech Stack: Python, SQL, AWS EC2, AWS CodeBuild, Amazon CloudWatch, Docker, IAM, Git
  • Monitored and maintained production ETL/ELT pipelines running on AWS EC2 and cloud services; used CloudWatch logs and alerts to troubleshoot runtime failures and ensure pipeline availability for banking reports.
  • Optimized pipeline performance via SQL and PySpark tuning, data partitioning and parallelism adjustments to reduce job runtime and improve throughput for batch reporting workloads.
  • Built CI pipelines using AWS CodeBuild to run unit tests and validation checks for data pipeline code, improving deployment quality and reducing rollback incidents.
  • Automated recurring data workflows using Python scripting to eliminate manual processing steps, accelerating data refresh cycles for downstream analytics teams.
  • Created dashboards and routine reports from pipeline outputs to support stakeholders and operational decision-making for banking use cases.
  • Packaged processing tasks using Docker and enforced IAM-based access control for deployed jobs to standardize runtime environments and secure data access.
