Having 4+ years of experience in the IT industry, started my career as an ETL Developer/Administrator at Tata Consultancy Services, working for Sony Pictures Entertainment (SPE). Being a huge movie buff, I never thought there would be anything else interesting other than movies in the workspace.

This carved my path towards data engineering and fetched me ‘On the Spot’ and ‘Walk the Talk’ Awards for delivering the best results as a Data Engineer.I was looking for an experience where I would get to work on all aspects of Data Analytics / Data Engineering project to understand and learn the process from start to end and work on the latest technologies in the Data world.
