About Me

Building Pipelines
That Actually Work

I'm a Data Engineer and Cloud Platform Specialist with 7+ years designing and shipping production-grade data infrastructure for enterprises across finance, real-estate, and agriculture. My work spans the full stack — from raw ingestion to governed, analytics-ready data.

At EPAM Systems, I've delivered high-impact projects across the financial data & analytics, real estate technology, and agri-commodities domains — migrating legacy systems to modern cloud architectures, building self-service data platforms, and automating infrastructure with Terraform and CI/CD. I specialize in Snowflake, and hold the SnowPro Core certification.

● Current
Project: Financial Data & Analytics Domain — Data Migration
  • Built AWS Glue ETL pipelines using PySpark to migrate data from SQL Server to Amazon S3, improving scalability and eliminating manual data movement bottlenecks.
  • Designed Snowflake data ingestion using COPY INTO from S3 to enable high-volume, parallel data loading with optimal throughput.
  • Refactored legacy transformation logic into modular PySpark and Snowflake SQL components, significantly improving pipeline maintainability and runtime.
  • Migrated legacy stored procedures to Snowflake stored procedures, ensuring compatibility, performance, and easier change management.
Project: Real Estate Technology Domain — Data Platform Development
  • Developed Matillion ETL jobs to ingest and transform data into Snowflake staging and Data Vault models for analytics and reporting.
  • Designed Snowflake views, stored procedures, and SQL transformations to meet complex business and reporting requirements.
  • Built reusable, parameterized ETL frameworks and processed semi-structured JSON data using native Snowflake functions.
  • Implemented Secure Views, Data Sharing, and event-driven patterns in Snowflake to meet governance and data-access requirements.
  • Automated workflow orchestration using Azure Logic Apps and performed unit/integration testing to ensure data quality and reliability.
Project: Agri-Commodities & Enterprise Platform Domain — Object Provisioning (Platform Engineering)
  • Implemented Terraform-based IaC to automate provisioning of Snowflake and AWS resources, reducing manual effort and configuration drift.
  • Provisioned Snowflake objects — databases, schemas, roles, warehouses, integrations, external volumes, OAuth users — through standardized templates.
  • Automated AWS resource creation (Glue databases, IAM roles, S3 buckets, data federation components) aligned to security and compliance policies.
  • Built a PR-driven provisioning workflow where JSON requests triggered validations in AWS CodeBuild for naming standards and constraints.
  • Implemented CI/CD with AWS CodePipeline using Git diff-based deployments to ship only incremental IaC changes safely.
  • Created Python metadata drivers to capture Terraform outputs and register provisioned resources in Snowflake metadata tables.
