Work Experience

Data Engineer at LTI Mindtree
June 1, 2024 - November 6, 2025
Led design and implementation of AWS-based data pipelines (Glue, Lambda, Airflow) to automate ingestion from 12 data sources, cutting manual refresh effort by 40% and ensuring 99% data-delivery reliability. Engineered Snowflake data-warehouse architecture integrating supplier, order, and logistics data; optimized joins and partitioning to improve query speed by ~30%. Partnered with supply-chain leadership to develop interactive Power BI and QuickSight dashboards monitoring inventory turnover, improving visibility and reducing excess stock by 7%. Collaborated with data scientists to deploy forecasting models for demand planning; model accuracy rose from 81% to 90%. Directed a cross-functional analytics pod (4 members) to modernize KPI tracking and automate ETL, saving ~25% in operational analysis time. Initiated a GenAI proof-of-concept using AWS Bedrock + Comprehend to summarize supplier performance reports, reducing manual review time per report by ~50%.
Data Analyst / Data Engineer – Supply Chain Client at NTT DATA
August 1, 2023 - August 1, 2023
Migrated legacy SSIS jobs to Azure Data Factory & Synapse, shortening daily load times from 8 hours to 2 hours and lowering compute costs by ~20%. Developed star-schema models and automated 15 Power BI dashboards used by 200+ stakeholders, increasing adoption and decision-making speed across supply-planning teams. Implemented data-validation and reconciliation scripts using Python + SQL, lowering data discrepancies by 25% quarter-over-quarter. Streamlined KPI automation for warehouse efficiency metrics, contributing to ~10% lead-time improvement and 5% inventory optimization. Collaborated with ML engineers to deliver supplier-segmentation clustering that supported logistics-cost savings of 8%.
Data Analyst – Healthcare Client at NTT DATA
September 1, 2021 - September 1, 2021
Designed ETL pipelines via Azure Data Factory & SQL Server integrating EHR, claims, and laboratory feeds (~8M records/day), increasing data availability by ~45%. Created Tableau dashboards to track provider performance and care outcomes, enabling ~12% improvement in care-coordination metrics. Automated QA testing framework in Python for HIPAA-compliant reporting, saving ~25 hours/month of manual validation. Built predictive readmission-risk model (Logistic Regression & Random Forest, AUC 0.81) that identified high-risk patients and cut readmissions by ~8%.
