Projects

Project highlights from client platforms and internal accelerators.

Command and Control Data Platform

Delivered a command and control data platform for a leading Indian cement manufacturer, enabling unified visibility across manufacturing, sales, and logistics.

What I delivered

• Architected an Azure Synapse platform with pipelines orchestrating ingestion and transformation.
• Partnered with stakeholders to map manufacturing, sales, and logistics processes into a tailored data model.
• Integrated SAP CDC, API, and SFTP sources into a unified data model using PySpark notebooks on Databricks.
• Delivered 40+ KPI drilldowns spanning 30+ manufacturing plants.
• Led a team of three data engineers and one analytics engineer to deliver the pilot within the first month.

Platform capabilities

• Built a metadata framework with Cosmos DB and serverless Azure Functions for source configuration, scheduling, and logging.
• Implemented data quality monitoring in Synapse with benchmark deviation alerts and escalations.
• Set up CI/CD for Synapse, Cosmos DB, and Azure Functions using Azure DevOps pipelines.
• Designed a custom row-level security framework for fine-grained access control.

Metadata and Data Quality Framework

Designed a governance and quality layer to keep the platform reliable, observable, and secure.

Highlights

• Implemented a metadata framework using Cosmos DB with a serverless Azure Function interface.
• Centralized source configuration, scheduling, and pipeline logging.
• Monitored quality benchmarks in Synapse with deviation alerts and escalations.
• Contributed to custom row-level security for role-based access across business units.

Delivery

• Configured CI/CD for Synapse components, Cosmos DB, and Azure Functions.

IT Infrastructure Provider Data Platform

Built a pilot data platform to monitor incident resolution time and analyze turnaround metrics for service requests.

Highlights

• Evaluated Delta Live Tables with Auto Loader as bronze and silver layers in the lakehouse.
• Contributed to an ingestion and processing framework on Azure Data Factory and Databricks.

In-House Data Platform Accelerator

Built an accelerator to deploy standardized Azure data platforms rapidly based on user inputs.

What it automated

• Provisioned Azure Data Factory or Synapse, Databricks, and Storage resources with reusable templates.
• Supported deployments with GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps pipelines, and Terraform templates.

Impact and innovations

• Reduced configuration time by 60% through automation.
• Evaluated hosting the metadata database as Delta tables to decouple storage and compute.
• Built a Delta Catalog POC to improve data sharing and RBAC control.
