About
About me

From Dharwad to Amsterdam, by way of Chemnitz and Södertälje.

I'm a data engineer with 7+ years building and running data platforms on AWS. I studied computer science in India and automotive software engineering at TU Chemnitz, then moved vehicle data into the cloud at Scania in Sweden.

Since then I've built data platforms in the Netherlands for energy, utilities, logistics and now retail at HEMA, where I manage the data platform and design data solutions on AWS.

Platforms

What I bring to a data team:

I own data platforms end to end: their reliability, day-to-day operations and how they grow. Today that's HEMA's platform on AWS and Databricks.

How I work

A data pipeline, end to end.

Tap a stage to see what happens there, the tools I use for it, and the concept that keeps it reliable.
