About

Here's the thing about data at scale — it's messy, complex, and when it breaks, everyone notices. I've spent over a decade making sure it doesn't break. I'm a Lead Data Analytics Consultant at AWS, and I architect enterprise data solutions that process petabytes of information for applications that can't afford to fail. Think modern data lakes, lakehouse architectures, and ETL/ELT pipelines that need to work flawlessly across AWS and Azure environments. I've led large-scale cloud transformation projects—migrations, modernizations, full platform overhauls. My teams consistently deliver significant performance improvements and real cost savings. I've cut deployment times in half, turned 24-hour processing windows into 12, and built automation that keeps systems running smoothly without constant firefighting. What gets me excited? Solving problems that don't have obvious answers. Whether it's migrating a legacy platform to the cloud, optimizing a struggling production workload, or designing distributed systems that actually scale, I focus on impact you can measure. I'm a bit of a certification collector (AWS, Azure, Databricks, OCI) because I believe in staying sharp and proving I know my stuff. But here's what matters most: I don't just build systems, I build teams. I lead engineers, mentor talent, and run technical workshops that help customers and partners level up. I write reusable patterns and best practices because the best solutions are the ones that scale beyond a single project. If you're tackling complex data challenges or driving cloud transformation, let's talk. I'm always up for a good technical conversation. 📍 Hyderabad, India | 🌐 Open to collaboration and consulting/data engineering opportunities
