About Me

I help companies turn messy, high-volume data into reliable systems that teams can trust.

I'm a Data Engineer with 3+ years of experience designing and maintaining high-performance data systems. My expertise lies in building streaming and batch pipelines using tools like Python, RabbitMQ, and AWS.

I specialize in creating reliable, scalable systems that handle large volumes of data efficiently. With a strong foundation in distributed systems and data engineering principles, I focus on delivering solutions that are both performant and maintainable.

Professional Experience

Software Developer | Provakil, Pune, India

Feb 2023 - Present
  • Engineered scalable Python scraping pipelines for 20+ national/state courts to ingest 5000+ case records daily
  • Stored structured data, PDFs, and HTML efficiently in AWS S3, ensuring data accessibility and integrity
  • Automated data quality checks, reducing manual validation efforts by 30% and improving data accuracy
  • Designed and integrated data ingestion workflows with RabbitMQ, enabling multiple consumer services to process listings asynchronously; improved data freshness by 30% and increased system throughput by 25%
  • Proactively debugged and resolved complex pipeline failures by analyzing logs in Elasticsearch and monitoring queues, reducing mean-time-to-resolution (MTTR) for data issues by 40%
  • Developed automated notification systems using Pandas and Python, generating and delivering case summaries via email/WhatsApp, enhancing user engagement
  • Collaborated with DevOps and backend teams on cross-service debugging, server configuration, and deployment processes

Production Engineering Highlights
  • Reduced MTTR by 40% through proactive monitoring and log analysis
  • Debugged asynchronous pipelines by analyzing queue backlogs and consumer behavior
  • Collaborated across backend and DevOps teams during incident resolution
