Adarsh R.

Senior Data Engineer | Snowflake, dbt, Airflow, SQL, API, Analytics

I'm a Senior Data Engineer with 8+ years of strong technical expertise in building reliable and scalable data infrastructure, from data ingestion to transformation to warehousing, streaming, and data analytics, specializing in dbt, Snowflake, Airflow, Databricks (and more) across AWS, Azure, and GCP, with robust ELT and ETL pipelines. If your data pipelines are brittle, your data warehouse is slow, or your data was never built to scale, that is exactly what I fix, with fault tolerance, observability, and audit-ready quality engineered in from day one. I cover the full data engineering lifecycle: batch and real-time data pipelines, Modern Data Stack builds, lakehouse architecture, cloud and warehouse data migration, governance, and the data foundations that feed modern systems. 🎯 Core Expertise: ✅ Data Pipelines & Orchestration: End-to-end batch and real-time pipelines with Apache Airflow, Dagster, Prefect, AWS Step Functions, and Azure Data Factory. Idempotent, schema-drift tolerant, and monitored so failures surface before they reach your stakeholders. ✅ Cloud Warehousing & Lakehouse: Snowflake, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Databricks, and Microsoft Fabric, with Delta Lake and Apache Iceberg lakehouse foundations governed through the Glue Data Catalog and Lake Formation, with Athena and Redshift Spectrum for serverless queries, Medallion Architecture, partitioning, and performance tuning. ✅ Data Transformation & Modeling: dbt (Core and Cloud), SQLMesh, Spark and PySpark on EMR and AWS Glue, Star Schema and dimensional modeling, analytics engineering best practices, full test coverage, and CI/CD for data models. ✅ Streaming & Real-Time Analytics: Distributed streaming with Apache Kafka, Flink, Spark Structured Streaming, Kinesis, and Pub/Sub, including exactly-once semantics, dead-letter queues, CDC, and end-to-end latency guarantees. ✅ Data Ingestion & Integration: Fivetran, Airbyte, Matillion, Stitch, Hevo, Meltano, and custom CDC pipelines for near-real-time sync across structured, semi-structured, and unstructured sources. ✅ Data Quality, Governance & Observability: Automated data quality frameworks, SLA monitoring, auditable lineage, data catalog and metadata management, and observability that catches bad data early. ✅ Cloud Migration & Modernization: Zero-downtime migration handled end to end, from legacy warehouse assessment through cutover, with zero data loss and minimal downtime, replacing brittle ETL and ELT with a clean Modern Data Stack. ✅ AI-Ready Data Infrastructure: Pipelines engineered to feed LLMs and ML systems with clean, structured, high-quality data, from ingestion through transformation to serving. ------------------------------------------------------ ⚙️Tech Stack: ⚡ Warehouses & Lakehouse: Snowflake | BigQuery | Redshift | Databricks | Microsoft Fabric | Athena | Delta Lake | Iceberg ⚡ Transformation: dbt | SQLMesh | Spark | PySpark | AWS Glue | EMR | Star Schema | Medallion Architecture ⚡ Orchestration: Airflow (GCP Cloud Composer and AWS MWAA) | Dagster | Prefect | Azure Data Factory | Step Functions ⚡ Streaming: Kafka | Flink | Kinesis | Pub/Sub | Spark Structured Streaming | ClickHouse ⚡ Ingestion: Fivetran | Airbyte | Matillion | Stitch | Hevo | Meltano | CDC ⚡ Governance & Catalog: Glue Data Catalog | Lake Formation | Unity Catalog | Microsoft Purview | Dataplex ⚡ Cloud: AWS | GCP | Azure ⚡ Languages: Python | SQL (Snowflake, BigQuery, T-SQL, PL/pgSQL) | FastAPI ⚡ Databases: PostgreSQL | MySQL | SQL Server | DynamoDB | MongoDB ⚡ BI & Reporting: Looker | Tableau | Power BI | GA4 | Metabase | Superset | Streamlit | Grafana ------------------------------------------------------ ⭐ What Clients Say: 🏅 "Adarsh rebuilt our analytics pipeline on Snowflake, Airflow, and dbt, giving us reliable, version-ready data. Reporting accuracy improved overnight, and we can finally trust the numbers." – Anita, Head of Product, FinTech SaaS 🏅 "He designed a zero-downtime migration to a modern data warehouse that cut query latency by more than half while keeping our SLAs intact." – Daniel, VP of Data, AdTech Firm 🏅 "Clean architecture, solid dbt models, and Airflow pipelines running without issues for months. He brought a level of engineering discipline we hadn't seen from a data consultant before." – Mark, Director of Data Engineering, E-commerce Startup 🏅 "We came to him with a Spark pipeline costing us a fortune and delivering stale data. He restructured the workflow logic and cut processing time by 70%." – Leo, Head of Analytics, HealthTech SaaS ------------------------------------------------------ 🏆 TOP RATED PLUS | EXPERT-VETTED | Top 1% on Upwork | 8+ Years Experience | 100% Job Success 🚀 Ready to build a scalable, production-ready data infrastructure to turn your raw data into reliable, actionable business insights?
