Gowthaman N.
Data Engineer | Azure, Fabric, ADF, Databricks, ETL, Power BI
Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Azure Data Factory and Snowflake pipelines plus the Power BI layer on top. SAP, Epicor, Salesforce and NetSuite already synced to Azure. 5+ years in Azure data engineering. I scope, build and hand over the whole path: source system → ingestion → ETL/ELT into a Medallion Lakehouse (Bronze, Silver, Gold) → semantic model → the dashboard your team actually opens. Most projects reach me one of four ways: - No data platform yet — spreadsheets, an app database, and numbers people need every week - A legacy platform that needs moving to Microsoft Fabric, Azure or Databricks - An ERP or CRM that won't talk to your warehouse — SAP, Epicor, Salesforce, NetSuite and QuickBooks are ones I've already wired to Azure - Month-end reporting that takes three days and still doesn't reconcile 🔧 What I build ✅ New data platforms from scratch — empty Azure subscription to first working dashboard ✅ Azure Data Factory and Microsoft Fabric pipelines — OneLake, Lakehouse, Warehouse, Notebooks ✅ Azure Databricks, Apache Spark and Delta Lake processing at scale ✅ ETL and ELT development, including incremental and metadata-driven patterns ✅ Data warehouses, Lakehouse architectures and dimensional data models ✅ API, ERP, CRM and SQL database integrations ✅ Legacy platform migrations to Microsoft Fabric, Azure and Databricks ✅ Power BI dashboards, semantic models and DAX ✅ Data quality, validation, monitoring, and cost and performance tuning 🛠️ Stack Microsoft Fabric · Azure Data Factory · Azure Databricks · Azure Synapse Analytics · Azure SQL Database · Snowflake · BigQuery · SAP Python · SQL · PySpark · DAX SQL Server · PostgreSQL · MySQL Power BI · Tableau · Looker Studio 🤝 How I work ✅ A written build plan before any code — scope, sequence, and what "done" means ✅ Pipelines ship with logging and failure alerts, not just a green run on my machine ✅ Handover documentation, so your team can run it without me ✅ 4+ hours of daily overlap with US business hours (I'm UTC+5:30) 📩 Send me your source list and the one report that keeps breaking. I'll come back with a pipeline plan, a rough timeline, and an honest answer about whether Microsoft Fabric is the right target for you.
