Work experience

Data Engineer

Pulselight

(Sept 2023 - Dec 2024)

Ensured efficient data integration and transformation process by automating dynamic task creation, status tracking, and error handling, significantly enhancing the operational efficiency of data pipelines. Automated processes to save task results and performance metrics to PostgreSQL databases, facilitating comprehensive reporting and analysis of ETL workflows. Utilized Python and Airflow operators to manage PII data operations, dynamic scope name generation, session handling, and operation polling, enabling seamless data flow and integration across multiple systems and environments. Implemented automated task duration tracking and real-time error detection mechanisms to monitor and improve data pipeline performance, resulting in a 30% reduction in data processing time and enhanced data quality. Implemented ETL workflows using SQL SSIS and SAP BODS to automate tasks for data cataloging and Torch Analytics Platform.​

Junior Software Engineer

Powerschool

(Nov 2020 - June 2023)

Managed and refactored monolith legacy codebases, facilitating modularization and migration to microservices architecture to improve agility and team scalability. Designed and implemented a proprietary identity provider using OAuth2 for centralized authentication and authorization across multiple applications, enhancing security and user management capabilities. Engineered a reusable and scalable Serverless stack for real-time alerting, including response plans and escalation workflows, optimizing resource utilization and ensuring high availability. Reducing costs by 65% compared to previous 3rd party stack (NewRelic + PagerDuty). Created comprehensive documentation and conducted training sessions for client teams on newly implemented technologies and architectural patterns. Led the architecture design and development efforts for projects using PHP, Python, React, and Serverless technologies, ensuring scalability, maintainability, and performance optimization.
