About

I’m Daniel Kaba, a senior data engineer with several years of experience designing and operating reliable data platforms and scalable ETL/ELT pipelines. My focus spans data warehousing, data modeling, and both batch and streaming data processing, with an emphasis on performance optimization, observability, and trustworthy data quality.

Over the years, I’ve partnered with analytics, product, and engineering teams to turn complex requirements into secure, well-documented data solutions. At scale, I’ve built automation around validation, monitoring, and reconciliation, and I’ve helped improve pipeline reliability and reduce processing delays while strengthening CI/CD and engineering practices for data workflows.
