## About

Senior Analytics/Data Engineer with 6\+ years across BI and the modern data stack\. I build ETL/ELT pipelines on Snowflake and dbt that process 15M\+ records a day\. Recent wins: cut data\-prep time 35%, reduced Snowflake credit spend through warehouse tuning, and built PySpark transformations on Databricks\. Earlier at Capgemini, I designed star\-schema data models and dashboards serving 300\+ stakeholders\. I also ship product\. I built OneOnOne, a B2B SaaS, solo \(Next\.js, Supabase, LLMs, real billing\), then built its analytics layer on live production data: Python ingestion into Snowflake, 17 dbt models with 80\+ tests, a MetricFlow semantic layer, and a daily Dagster asset graph\. Having designed the product, I know what every metric means\. Open to Senior Analytics Engineering and Data Engineering roles\. Stack: SQL, Python, dbt, Snowflake, Databricks, PySpark, Dagster, Airflow, AWS, dimensional modeling \(Kimball, SCD\), Qlik Sense, Metabase Let's build: kara\_himanshu@yahoo\.com
