Data Engineer with 3+ years of production experience — currently working at the intersection of enterprise Azure data engineering and utility-scale analytics at TPWODL.
As a Lead Engineer at TP Western Odisha Distribution Limited (a joint venture of Tata Power and the Government of Odisha), I work on enterprise-grade data and analytics solutions that support power distribution operations across multiple Tata Power discom entities. My primary focus right now is SAP BW to Azure data modernization — migrating legacy SAP reporting infrastructure onto a modern Azure stack using ADF, Databricks, and Spark, while building Power BI solutions on top for business reporting.
Before TPWODL, I spent two years at Infosys as part of a production Snowflake data engineering team for Mercedes-Benz USA & Canada — building Bronze-Silver-Gold ELT pipelines, automating ingestion with Snowpipe, and implementing CDC using Streams and Tasks. I also worked independently at Troy Consultancy owning the internal BI function end-to-end with Power BI and SQL Server.
I hold a Snowflake Data Engineering Professional Certificate, a Microsoft Azure Essentials Professional Certificate, and a Microsoft Career Essentials in Generative AI certificate.
