I independently own and scale data platforms in fast-paced, lean environments — leading critical migrations and architectural shifts that cut query latency by 90%+ and infrastructure cost by 35–40%. I specialize in cost-efficient, reliable pipelines and real-time systems.
I'm a Data Engineer who likes the hard, unglamorous problems: migrations that can't drop a row, warehouses that need to answer in seconds instead of minutes, and cloud bills that need to come down without anyone noticing a regression.
Moved a cloud-native lakehouse to ClickHouse and 300GB from DocumentDB to Aurora Postgres — structured, zero-downtime, no cost increase.
Consolidated databases and re-architected the medallion lakehouse to drive 35–40% cost reductions across production and lower environments.
Built real-time monitoring dashboards with automated alerting for proactive issue detection and higher data reliability.
India's largest local-language content, news & community platform (YC S19).
Healthcare technology company focused on digital solutions to improve patient engagement and management.
A tech startup focused on enhancing retail & shopping experiences through data-driven insights.
A leading research university specializing in innovation and advanced technology.
Analytical queries were taking 60+ seconds, throttling dashboards and every downstream consumer.
Re-modeled the warehouse on ClickHouse — table engines, sort keys and materialized rollups tuned for the access patterns that actually mattered.
Unstructured documents in DocumentDB blocked relational analytics and carried rising cost.
Modeled the documents into a relational schema and moved 300GB via DMS with CDC — a live cutover with no downtime and no cost increase.
Aurora and lakehouse spend was climbing across production and lower environments.
Consolidated databases and re-architected the bronze → silver → gold lakehouse with S3, Glue, Hudi, Spark & MWAA.
Curated marts and rollups served from ClickHouse — the sub-5-second layer that powers dashboards, alerting and every downstream consumer.
Modeling warehouses and crunching billions of rows.
The AWS backbone every pipeline runs on.
Scheduling, lineage, and clean transforms.
Shipping, automating, and pairing with AI.
Evaluated in proofs-of-concept and spikes.
