Design & Build Scalable Data Pipelines using PySpark for large-scale batch and streaming data processing.

Develop PySpark Solutions write production-grade PySpark code to read data from S3 (Parquet/Delta files), perform complex transformations, and process large-scale datasets efficiently.

Implement Deduplication Logic design and implement robust deduplication strategies for large datasets using PySpark.

Performance Tuning (PySpark) optimize PySpark jobs for reading and processing very large datasets, including partitioning, caching, broadcast joins, and shuffle optimization.

Develop Cloud-Native Data Solutions on AWS leveraging services like S3, Glue, EMR, Lambda, Step Functions, and Redshift.

Engineer Snowflake Data Platforms build warehouses, schemas, and data models optimized for analytics and reporting.

Build Snowflake Iceberg Tables design and implement Apache Iceberg tables in Snowflake for open lakehouse architectures and interoperability.

Develop Dynamic Tables & Materialized Views build and maintain Snowflake Dynamic Tables and Materialized Views to support near real-time analytics and query acceleration.

Snowflake Performance Tuning optimize Snowflake workloads through clustering, micro-partition pruning, query profiling, warehouse sizing, result caching, and materialization strategies.

Modernize Legacy ETL migrate on-prem ETL workloads (e.g., DataStage, Informatica) to PySpark and Snowflake-based cloud pipelines.

Optimize Performance tune Spark jobs, Snowflake queries, and AWS resource utilization for speed and cost.

Ensure Data Quality & Governance implement validation, lineage, and monitoring across every pipeline.

Collaborate Across Teams partner with data architects, analysts, TPMs, and business stakeholders to deliver trustworthy data products.

Document Everything from technical designs to runbooks, ensuring every pipeline is maintainable and audit-ready.
