About

I’m an Azure-focused Data Engineer with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering scalable ETL, data warehouse, and cloud data platform solutions for enterprise clients across finance, education, and technology sectors. Over the years, I’ve built end-to-end data architectures using Databricks, Azure Data Factory, Synapse, ADLS Gen2, and Power BI, enabling analytics through Power BI and Tableau while ensuring cost efficiency, scalability, and reliability. I thrive at the intersection of data engineering and business enablement—optimizing pipelines, creating robust monitoring frameworks, and collaborating with stakeholders to deliver actionable insights. At organizations like CIBC, Microsoft, and Bell, I’ve led projects that transformed raw data into strategic business assets. Beyond the technical, I enjoy mentoring junior engineers, documenting best practices, and fostering team collaboration to reduce bottlenecks and increase delivery speed. ⚡ Core Expertise: - Cloud & Data Platforms: Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, ADLS Gen2, Azure SQL Database - ETL / Data Integration: Informatica PowerCenter, SSIS, RedPoint, SAS-DI, PL/SQL - Data Modeling & Querying: SQL Server, Teradata, Oracle, incremental load strategies, partitioning, parquet optimization - Reporting & BI: Power BI (DAX, modeling), Tableau - DevOps & Automation: Unix shell scripting, workflow scheduling, monitoring & alerting - Team Leadership: technical mentorship, documentation, stakeholder collaboration 📍 Based in Toronto, I’m always eager to connect with peers, exchange knowledge, and explore opportunities where data can drive smarter decisions and tangible business outcomes.

Azure Data Factory is used to construct ETL processes that are scalable and maintainable for the Salesforce migration project to Financial Cloud Services. · Implement an error handling process to store the rejected records in ADLS Gen2 and capture the aggregated metadata in SQL. · Provide monitoring, performance tuning, and update the data transformation logic as needed for existing integrations by capturing unit testing and regression testing to optimize the parameterization update to the batch size of data intake. · Document architecture, data flows, and transformation logic, often maintained in a version control system for collaboration and compliance.

Azure Synapse used to Integrate and support systems by ingesting data into Azure Data Lake Gen 2 and load data into Azure SQL Database. The goal was achieved with data moving into the 3 zones of Azure Data Lake Gen 2 of Raw Zone, Processed Zone and Curated Zone. Each zone had its own characteristic before finally loading the data into Azure SQL Database. Optimization techniques were implemented especially in the final stages of loading from Data Lake into Azure SQL Database as it was heavy processing hence, we had to use the approach of Incremental loading technique with heavy lifting done on the ADLS Gen 2 as much as possible which led to fast processing and successful batch loading implementation of multiple dates in a batch run. Raw Zone: • Data ingested in the original format from different sources (ex : flat files, csv, JSON, pdf…). In case of SQL database as source consider exporting the data as a compressed file format (ex: parquet) • It keeps every version of the raw data indefinitely and can support audit and recovery • Partitioned by source system and organized by data entity and date • Generally accessible by data engineers only Processed Zone: • Data comes from the Raw zone and is cleansed, enriched (validation, standardization, harmonization) • Parquet file format • Schema and data type definition (remove unnecessary columns) Curated Zone: • Data comes from the Processed zone and is aggregated and modeled for specific business needs • Parquet file format • Consumption layer optimized for analytics • Common dimensions, aggregations, and metrics calculations • Partitioned by business function or data subject and organized by data entity • Used by business analysts and data scientists Develop and maintain Power BI dashboards involving building measures, and aggregated solutions using DAX formulas and reports. Create Data Management and monitoring processes to be updated with the day-to-day updates. Optimize Cost Effective Data Storage and compute.

My Role & Responsibilities - The scope of requirement from the get-go from me was to create a one-stop data solution. Leading to the accessibility of information from raw data by creating ETL processes for Azure, Dynamics, and Bizapps by creating data mart solutions specific to their respective data subject. This would lead to feasibility for the Business Stakeholders to make informed decisions in the most accurate and timely manner based on sales and events organized for the Canadian subsidiary (Microsoft Tech Summit. Microsoft Ignite, Microsoft Future Now) Steps Implemented : Created Automated Datapipeline solutions to fetch data from multiple source systems to our local database. Monitored on a daily basis to optimize the processes. Cleanse the data and impose Standard Data loading and database nomenclature processes to make sure the data integrity is intact for the whole team. Create fall-safe solutions to catch any issues with the discrepancy of data to make sure downstream data load process and reports are acted upon immediately maintaining the sanity of data. Design and create Extract Load Transformation (ETL) processes and implement best practices. Create Power BI reporting dashboard to measure the KPI metrics and provide an in-depth analysis of how the progress is updated with respect to historical data at a click of a button implementing Data Models and DAX formulas. Weekly meetings with the team to help subordinates grow technically and document all the processes to create minimal dependency and grow the team as a whole. Azure Databricks used to load the data in staging zone and sanitize the data and aggregate solutions designed to get the final data to be reported on Power BI for Business stakeholders.

The major goal of our project is to implement the Integration logic in a layer which is separate from the core business logic in the new system, using the Business Intelligence - ETL tool INFORMATICA POWERCENTER v9.1, ORACLE 10G, TERADATA AND UNIX. • The initial step of REQUIREMENT GATHERING was the preparation of LOW LEVEL DESIGN DOCUMENTS (LLD). • Write PL-SQL queries in order to create TABLES (LOOKUP, SOURCE and TARGET), VIEWS, TRIGGERS, STORED PROCEDURES, INDEXES, LOOKUP conditions (to retrieve data from other tables based on conditional checks) and User Defined Functions. • Prepared a Mapping Document and consequently implementing the required transformational logic in ETL Development using Informatica PowerCenter 9.1 as a key tool for making Mappings and run workflows. • Create the Source and Target tables in the database and clean the extracted data in the Staging area and implement the transformational logic in Power Center Mapping Designer on the consistent data. Then, validate the mapping and run in sequential or concurrent manner by creating sessions in the Power Center Workflow Designer and run the session based on the timeline requirement and check the results in Power Center Workflow Monitor. • Based on good experience working with the tool Informatica Powercenter tune the mapping in an optimized manner to improve the performance in order to fast load in the data warehouse. • Build 2 modules of Informatica mappings and tested with the Sample input and output provided by the client and consequently triggered the mappings via UNIX shell scripting. Understood the Unix Scripts which especially required testing of workflows.

During my 4 years of bachelors of Engineering I gained a lot of technical knowledge solving various circuit analysis and communication subjects. I was more than privileged to have such inspiring teachers backing me to excel in my studies and other curricular activities like Robotics which I was really interest in. I made a line following Robot during a workshop/competition. I was staying away form my home for these 4 years and I learnt a lot, so it was overall a very good experience.
