Vishal R.
Data Engineer and Visualization Expert
Hi, I'm Vishal — a Senior Data Engineer with 7+ years building and operating cloud-native data platforms, with deep hands-on Azure experience: Azure Data Factory, Databricks, Azure SQL, Data Lake Storage (ADLS), and Power BI, on medallion/Delta Lake architecture. I design end-to-end pipelines that hold up in production — not just run once. Recent work includes a materialization pipeline that cut application downtime from ~55s to ~7s with a parallel build-then-swap pattern, incremental ETL with stored-procedure orchestration, logging and full documentation, and Power BI performance/cost optimization on enterprise reporting platforms. I care about the unglamorous parts clients actually live with: data quality, governance, documentation, and reliable production support. A few things that set me apart: hands-on SAP source integration (BW/ECC into Azure, including Fabric/OneLake) — rare to find alongside Azure depth — plus Databricks certification and AWS Solutions Architect – Associate (986/1000), which keeps my cloud security and architecture thinking sharp across providers. I've also delivered operational dashboards integrating Jira, Freshdesk, and AWS data that lifted team visibility ~30%, and optimized storage/query patterns saving $100K+ annually. Whether you need ADF and Databricks pipelines built, a Lakehouse stood up, Power BI tuned, or steady senior support for an existing platform, I bring a results-driven, communicative approach. Let's talk about your data goals and where I can add value fastest.
