As a seasoned Software Engineer with over 10 years of experience, I have established myself as an expert in Backend software development, data engineering, data privacy, and governance. My extensive background has equipped me with the skills to design and develop scalable solutions that drive business growth. 

 

I possess a strong proficiency in Spark, Scala, and Python-based ETL methodologies, SQL programming, web mining, data analysis, visualization, and building end-to-end data pipelines. My expertise in optimizations has led to significant cost savings, with a notable achievement of reducing capacity costs by approximately $5 million at Meta. 

 

Born and raised in Hyderabad, India, I pursued my schooling and Bachelor’s degree in Electronics from India. I began my career as a technical consultant, working on content management systems and building large corporation websites with multi-locale support. 

In 2016, I moved to the USA to pursue my Master’s degree in Information Systems from Iowa State University. During my time at ISU, I received a Research Assistantship for the entire course of my master’s program, where I worked on a large-scale data mining project involving internet scraping of millions of pages. 

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a passion for innovation, problem-solving, and collaboration. My unique blend of technical expertise, business acumen, and leadership skills has enabled me to drive success in various roles and industries. 

 

Today, as a Staff Data Engineer at Meta Platforms, I continue to leverage my expertise to build secure, scalable, and efficient data solutions that protect user data and drive business growth.
