Manager

  • • Designed a modular data pipeline in GCP Dataflow that processed both NRT and RT data feeds leveraging Bigquery, PubSub and Cloud Bigtable.
  • • Procesed over 10k+ new NRT records and 100 transactions/s of RT records daily to derive and update more than 100+ attributes and made them available for consumption for credit decisioning.

Senior Analyst

  • • Developed data pipelines using GCP, dbt, and Airflow designed for high-velocity consumption (200 transactions/ms), enabling real-time analytics and decision support for Fraud and Credit services.
  • • Implemented usecases for Credit Limit Increase, Mortgage Process Optimization and World Class Onboarding (ETB and OD).
  • • Developed and optimized end-to-end ETL pipelines using BigQuery, implementing partitioning and clustering strategies to improve query performance and reduce storage costs.
  • • Worked and improved upon a custom dbt operator in Airflow to orchestrate dbt model execution, providing a robust and scalable solution for data transformation pipelines.
  • • Designed and implemented a Looker dashboard to provide real-time monitoring, in-depth analysis, and automated alerts for the health and performance of multiple data pipelines.
