Yash Joshi

Data Engineer @ The Citco Group Limited

About

I've spent 5+ years building systems across industries - designing data platforms from scratch, scaling to millions of rows, and saving companies six figures in costs. At the core, I focus on two things: - Strong foundations: CI/CD, infrastructure as code, orchestration, monitoring, data quality. - Real scale: jobs that handle massive data, cookbooks teams use, and and alerting. Outside work, I share what I learn on Analytics Vector (https://www.youtube.com/@analytics-vector) and stay connected with the data community. Curious, right sizing, and always building.
