Work Experience
Analyst
Bain & Company (BCN)
Built and deployed a SparkSQL ETL framework on GCP (Dataproc, BigQuery) for a large US retailer, using PyTest & GitHub Actions for CI/CD.
Integrated pipeline execution with a client-internal orchestration system, validated in production cloud environments, and led on-site handover sessions (20 hrs).
Implemented a DuckDB- and SQL-based ETL pipeline for a UK and Ireland retailer, orchestrating SQL execution via Python for lightweight analytics workloads.
Developed dashboards using Pandas and Plotly-Dash/ReactJS migrating out of Tableau, resulting in $200K per annum saved in licensing costs.
Deployed and maintained multiple tools with Docker and Azure. Optimized existing tools' performance (10x latency reduction) and scalability (multi-user support and load balancing).
Integrated AI into toolkits using OpenAI Chat & Responses APIs, LangChain, and LangGraph.
Freelance
Stealth Startup
Provisioned cloud and security infrastructure. Set up API servers and reverse-proxy for different endpoints.
Dockerized and self-hosted a Supabase instance, with an externally managed Postgres database on a local docker network. Integrated API with Supabase (Database, Realtime, & Auth.)
Created a test suite to unit-test the API using PyTest and Django's testing framework.
