About

I've spent 7+ years doing one thing really well: making data move faster and systems work smarter. Whether it's an Ab Initio pipeline processing millions of records for a Telecom giant, a PL/SQL package cutting reporting time in half for a bank, or a Python Shiny dashboard that saves a team 15 hours of manual work every single week, I care deeply about the impact behind the code. ━━━ What I do ━━━ 🔹 ETL & Data Engineering — Ab Initio, Conduct IT, PL/SQL, Oracle RDBMS, data warehousing, pipeline performance tuning (40% faster execution, 35% throughput gains) 🔹 Backend & API Development — Python, Django, Django REST Framework, Flask, microservices, token-based auth, pytest (85%+ coverage) 🔹 Delivery & Leadership — leading teams of 5+ engineers, Agile/Scrum, peer code reviews, CI/CD via Jenkins, 95%+ on-time sprint delivery ━━━ Career highlights ━━━ ✅ Reduced ETL job execution time by 40% using Ab Initio parallelism & partitioning ✅ Cut critical query execution time by 50% via PL/SQL packages & index optimisation ✅ Eliminated 15 hours/week of manual reporting by building Python Shiny dashboards ✅ Deployed RESTful APIs powering 4+ internal business units across a SaaS platform ✅ Reduced production defects 20% by establishing team-wide unit testing standards ━━━ Industries ━━━ Telecom · Banking · Insurance · Healthcare ━━━ Education ━━━ B.E. Information Technology - IET Indore (2018) ━━━ Let's connect ━━━ I'm always open to conversations about challenging data engineering problems, senior IC or lead roles, and tech architecture discussions.
