08.2023 - Current
  • Led the migration of 50+ large-scale Scala Spark ETL jobs to modular PySpark pipelines, improving code maintainability, reducing runtime, and aligning all workflows with reusable components and clean architecture standards.
  • Automated and scheduled migrated ETL pipelines using Rundeck and Concourse, implementing multi-stage environments, versioned deployments, and automated validation steps to ensure stable production releases.
  • Re-engineered a legacy CouchDB-based ETL by rewriting it in Python/PySpark to support MongoDB as the new scalable NoSQL backend; enabled region-wise S3 ingestion, transformation, and bulk write operations to Mongo for downstream client application usage.
  • Optimized MongoDB update ETL by implementing checkpointing, micro-batch processing, broadcast joins, selective partitioning, incremental comparison logic, and Adaptive Query Execution (AQE) / adaptive shuffling, reducing overall runtime and preventing stage failures during multi-million–record (15Million) updates.
  • Designed and supported Ingestion, Compute, and Advanced Compute layers that extract large datasets from Teradata, Oracle, Trino/Presto, MinIO, PostgreSQL, and SQL Server, apply business rule transformations, unify schemas, and publish region-wise JSON outputs into AWS S3.
  • Implemented complex PySpark transformations including data cleansing, schema alignment, JSON flattening/unflattening, CDC logic, multi-source merging, and Delta/Parquet optimization techniques for high-volume telecom datasets.
  • Designed and implemented AWS-based data pipelines using Amazon S3 for data lake storage, AWS Glue/Athena for metadata and querying, and IAM for secure, role-based access across environments.
  • Built serverless and event-driven workflows on AWS leveraging Lambda, API Gateway, and SQS/SNS to orchestrate ingestion, trigger ETL jobs, and handle asynchronous processing at scale.
  • Monitored and optimized production workloads on AWS using CloudWatch metrics, logs, and alarms, performing performance tuning, failure analysis, and cost optimization for high-volume batch and micro-batch processing jobs.
  • Integrated AI-powered capabilities into internal engineering platforms, enabling teams to apply AI-driven insights for code quality analysis, impact assessment, and faster development cycles across multiple projects.
  • Worked with AI/LLM-based services to enhance developer workflows, supporting use cases such as intelligent code suggestions, automated review assistance, and contextual documentation generation within enterprise repositories.
  • Partnered with cross-functional teams to operationalize AI solutions at scale, focusing on secure access, governance, performance monitoring, and seamless adoption of AI features within existing cloud and data engineering ecosystems.
  • Improved pipeline performance through advanced Spark optimization techniques including caching strategies, predicate/partition pruning, Z-Ordering (if applicable), file compaction, and minimizing skewed joins using salting and repartitioning.
  • Built and enhanced business-critical eligibility and device program pipelines involving complex conditional rule mapping, window functions, and join strategies, ensuring accurate downstream data for multiple service teams.
  • Collaborated closely with business stakeholders to understand data requirements, perform quick SQL/PySpark analysis, deliver ad hoc datasets, and validate rule logic across divisions and regions.
  • Worked cross-functionally with product owners, analysts, QA, and DevOps teams to ensure accurate data delivery, consistent releases, code reviews, and seamless integration between ingestion, compute, and application-facing layers.
