18+ years of engineering large-scale data systems, leading cross-functional teams, and transforming raw data into decisive business intelligence. Currently at Etisalat (e&), UAE.
A Senior Data Engineer and Analytics Professional with over 18 years of progressive experience across India, Norway, and the UAE. My work spans the full data engineering lifecycle — from architecting real-time streaming platforms to delivering executive-level business intelligence.
At Etisalat, I lead the development of enterprise data systems for smart meter infrastructure, Kafka-based streaming architectures, and Tableau analytics platforms that inform strategic decisions at the highest levels of the organisation. I have consistently delivered measurable, quantified outcomes across every engagement.
I bring equal expertise to the technical and organisational dimensions of data work — mentoring engineers, leading agile teams, establishing governance frameworks, and partnering directly with business stakeholders to translate requirements into scalable data solutions.
