Designed and rolled out ICEX, a migration framework adopted company-wide for high volume data
modernization enabling cross-platform query-ability between Datalake, Snowflake, and Databricks. leveraging
Apache Iceberg, Delta Lake. 170 datasets migrated using ICEX eliminating redundant data lake copies, reducing
compute and storage costs by ~40%, enhancing dataset discoverability across DE pipelines.
Redesigned vendor data ingestion workflows for daily mail and call-center partners by replacing legacy SFTP and
PGP-based processes with modern data lake architecture. Reduced run times from 11 hours to 1 hour,
eliminated vendor infra dependency and improved data reliability, scalability across growth marketing systems.
Developed advanced attribution models for delivery event tracking, improving measurement of intra-funnel
conversions and campaign impact. Enabled onboarding of new marketing channels into the DAC optimization
engine, reducing DAC per delivery by ~30% and driving smarter allocation of media spend.
Designed GenAI-powered observability dashboards using LangChain + OpenAI API, automating incident
summaries, root cause explanations, and alert prioritization for on-call engineers.
Strengthened data observability and reliability by implementing DQ checks, assigning clear ownership for
incident response, and setting up focused alert routing for critical issues. Audited and deprecated legacy ETLs to
cut alert noise by ~35%, developed runbooks to streamline on-call operations, and reduced incident resolution
time by ~40% across DE Marketing pipelines.
Partnered with Marketing and DSML teams to design robust data integration pipelines integrated with Feature
Store and curated high-quality datasets by implementing anomaly detection and validation checks significantly
improving campaign performance visibility and data-driven decision-making.
Established data governance standards using Hubble (inhouse framework) + AWS Glue Data Catalog, tagging
datasets for lineage, PII classification, and compliance visibility across 500+ tables.
Automated CI/CD data pipeline workflows using GitHub Actions + Copilot Review for syntax +Terraform +
CircleCI, resulting in 60% faster release cycles and consistent environment parity across Dev/UAT/Prod.
