Hands-on Staff Data Engineer · Data & AI Platform Engineering — Databricks · Microsoft Fabric · Unity Catalog
I build and own governed lakehouse platforms — the standards an engineering org builds on — that turn raw enterprise data into trusted products for analysts, data scientists, and BI consumers. 11+ years across the stack, from hand-rolled Python/SQL pricing pipelines to medallion lakehouses on Databricks and Microsoft Fabric — and, most recently, my first GenAI/RAG proof-of-concept on top.
- 🏗️ Currently: Assistant Director, Data Engineering @ Moody's (Staff-level IC) — technical lead & standards owner for the Databricks + Microsoft Fabric lakehouse platform; design & CI/CD patterns reused across 12+ production pipelines
- 🔭 Focus: Databricks (Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, PySpark at scale), Microsoft Fabric / OneLake, medallion architecture, data quality, governance & FinOps
- 🤖 Exploring: GenAI on the data platform — built the team's first RAG POC on Mosaic AI Vector Search; extending into AI/ML platform engineering (feature stores, model serving, MLOps)
- 🎯 Where I'm headed: hands-on Staff/Principal Data & AI Platform Engineer
- 🎓 B.Tech CSE (JNTU Anantapur) · MBA Finance (Sri Venkateswara University)
- 📍 Bangalore, India · 📚 perpetual learner
