Experience My Previous Job Roles:

Senior Data Engineer

Implemented a scalable, fault-tolerant data ingestion pipeline utilizing HDFS, Spark, and Scala for distributed processing and data manipulation, handling 15 million daily transactions.

Identified and resolved a data discrepancy across data centers, preserving $240k in revenue through root cause analysis, data lineage exploration, and code review

Data Engineer

Created a modular, high-performance ETL tool with Python and Hive to automate data extraction and transformation across applications, achieving a 43% reduction in code redundancy and a 10% decrease in resource utilization.

Spearheaded the implementation of a scalable, config-driven utility for automating data pipeline testing, resulting in a 32% reduction in manual testing workload.

Successfully remediated 3 years of data inconsistencies involving 10 billion records through data lineage analysis, business logic refactoring, incremental data backfilling, and continuous monitoring to avoid disruption to end users.

Data Science Intern

Built a full-stack forecasting application with React, Django, and Facebook’s Prophet for predicting transactional data, achieving an 18% accuracy improvement in anomaly detection.
