02. Experience

  1. Jul 2026 – Present

    Data Engineer Freelance

    Remote

    • Build and maintain Azure Databricks (PySpark, Delta Lake, SQL) pipelines that move sales-order, billing and delivery data through Bronze, Silver and Gold medallion layers as part of an enterprise data platform migration.
    • Orchestrate ingestion with Azure Data Factory: metadata-driven pipelines, incremental delta-load extraction, parquet landing zones and scheduled Databricks jobs with run logging and data-quality audit tables.
    • Validate Databricks gold views against source-system reports, comparing records and measures row by row and tracing each mismatch to its root cause.
    • Log, triage and document defects in Azure DevOps with reproducible SQL evidence; write fix proposals that include backups and rollback scripts before any live view or table is changed.
    • Design consumption views in Unity Catalog for BI and reporting users, including a combined history-plus-delta delivery view that unifies two source layouts.
    • Work in a config-driven pipeline framework (YAML definitions, code generation and automated checks) under Git and Azure DevOps, and write pipeline architecture and run-history documentation used for team handover.
