Available to hire
Hi, I’m Shay Jethwa, a Senior Azure Data & Cloud Engineer with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering enterprise-scale data pipelines, integrations and analytics solutions. I have worked across NHS, Utilities, Finance, Insurance, Logistics and eCommerce, delivering secure, scalable ETL/ELT workflows that power analytics, reporting, and machine learning. I specialize in Azure Data Factory, Python, SQL and PostgreSQL, and I’m proficient in Azure cloud-native architectures, DevOps automation, data governance and security compliance (UK GDPR). I also have hands-on experience building REST APIs, implementing CI/CD for data projects, and delivering data modelling and validation in mission-critical environments.
I’m passionate about collaborating with data and analytics teams to translate requirements into robust data platforms. I value clear documentation, repeatable patterns, and a security-by-design mindset, and I enjoy mentoring colleagues and driving continuous improvement in data engineering practices.
