Ismail E.
Data Engineer | Azure Data Factory
I design and operate production-grade data infrastructure for fintech and investment platforms — specializing in trade ingestion, investor data processing, and compliance automation using Azure Data Factory, Azure Functions, and PostgreSQL. My work sits at the intersection of engineering reliability and financial accuracy, where a broken data pipeline isn't just a technical issue — it's a compliance and operational risk. Rather than building pipelines that simply run, I build systems that hold up under scale, regulatory scrutiny, and real production workloads. What I Work On Trade & Investor Data Pipelines Designing pipelines to ingest, validate, and reconcile trade data, investor accounts, and financial transactions from investment platforms and financial APIs. Systems are built to be traceable, auditable, and resilient from day one. Compliance Workflow Automation Infrastructure around AML/KYC providers and compliance systems — webhook handling, idempotent workflows, status synchronization, and audit trails stored in PostgreSQL. The provider performs the compliance check. I ensure your platform stays perfectly synchronized with the results. Financial API Integrations Secure integrations between investment platforms, payment systems, compliance providers, and internal databases, including retry logic, rate-limit protection, schema change handling, and operational monitoring. Event-Driven Financial Automation Serverless workflows using Azure Functions for real-time financial processes such as trade events, document uploads, investor onboarding triggers, and compliance updates. Financial Data Warehousing & Reporting Designing PostgreSQL and Azure Synapse data models for regulatory reporting, investor analytics, and operational dashboards — optimized for both accuracy and performance. Core Stack Azure Data Factory Azure Functions Azure Blob Storage Azure Synapse PostgreSQL Python REST APIs Power BI Typical Engagements • Trade ingestion pipelines for broker-dealers and investment platforms • Investor onboarding and KYC/AML provider integrations • Compliance automation and document validation workflows • API integrations between fintech platforms and internal systems • Financial data warehouse design and SQL performance optimization Who I Work With Fintech startups and investment platforms that are scaling their data infrastructure — typically teams that have outgrown manual workflows or fragile integrations and need production-grade systems that are reliable, traceable, and built to scale. If your financial data pipelines are becoming a bottleneck for compliance, operations, or growth, I can help design and build the infrastructure that fixes it.
