About

Graduating with an MTech in CSE with a specialization in AI & ML from Vellore Institute of Technology in 2022, I have developed a strong foundation in data engineering. My most recent role at Lentra as a Lead Data Engineer involved directing data delivery for multiple clients, ensuring scalable and reliable solutions across cloud and hybrid environments. At Lentra, I contributed to onboarding new clients, mentoring team members, and enhancing DevOps practices. My expertise includes creating ETL pipelines, optimizing data quality processes, and implementing Change Data Capture (CDC) systems using tools like Kafka, Debezium, Airflow, and AWS. I am motivated to deliver robust data solutions and support teams in achieving operational excellence.
