About

I am a Data Engineer who designs and builds scalable, cloud-native data platforms that deliver reliable, timely, and high-quality data for analytics and decision-making. My work is grounded in Python, SQL, and modern cloud platforms, with a strong focus on building efficient, secure, and cost-optimized data systems aligned with real business outcomes. Currently, I work as a Snowflake Data Engineer at ArisData, where I design solution-oriented architectures on the Snowflake Data & AI Platform. As our organization expands into Snowflake Intelligence, I work closely on use cases across Healthcare & Life Sciences, Finance, and Retail that drive impact through strong Data Governance, Security, Observability, and Performance optimization at scale. Previously at Velotio Technologies, I built a custom data integration service for an LLM-as-a-Service client using Python, FastAPI, and ArangoDB. I also worked extensively with Databricks, Azure Data Factory, and AI Agents on Databricks for clients in the access and security domain. My journey into data engineering began at Coditas, where I built data migration solutions using MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Python, and Docker for a micro-loans firm, and developed ETL pipelines on AWS Databricks for a healthcare facility. Beyond implementation, I care deeply about system design—how data is modelled, stored, queried, and governed. I am particularly interested in data architecture & system design, data modelling, database engineering, dimensional modeling, data warehousing, and cloud internals. I also share my learnings through technical blogs and actively volunteer at tech meetups, events, and conferences.
