Proficient in GCP cloud data services including BigQuery, Cloud Storage, Cloud Data Fusion, Dataflow, Cloud Composer, and Cloud SQL with hands-on expertise in cloud data storage, pipeline orchestration, and API integration. Experienced in applying GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted development workflows to accelerate coding, debugging, testing, and documentation tasks.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a compliance-first, risk-aware engineering mindset — committed to proactive monitoring, sound escalation judgment, and adherence to security and governance requirements aligned with Wells Fargo's engineering standards.
Experience
Software Engineer – ETL Pipelines, GCP Cloud & Data Engineering at FIS Clouds (2025-05 – Present)
- Participated in day-to-day ETL and ELT pipeline building on Google Cloud Platform — designing, coding, testing, debugging, and documenting Python-based data pipeline components that process millions of records daily across enterprise GCP cloud data infrastructure.
- Designed and developed production ETL pipelines using Cloud Data Fusion, Dataflow (Apache Beam), and Python scripting to extract data from on-premise PostgreSQL and MySQL databases, transform it through structured business logic, and load it into BigQuery and Cloud Storage for analytical consumption.
- Wrote Python and Bash/Unix scripts for data extraction automation, schema validation, pipeline health checks, file-based data ingestion, and operational monitoring tasks — improving pipeline reliability and reducing manual operational overhead.
- Built and optimized complex SQL queries for BigQuery and PostgreSQL including multi-table joins, window functions, CTEs, aggregations, and incremental load logic — ensuring high-performance, cost-efficient data retrieval and transformation across large-scale analytical datasets.
- Developed RESTful API integrations and JDBC connector services enabling reliable data exchange between enterprise relational database management systems and GCP cloud-native pipeline infrastructure.
- Leveraged GitHub Copilot and AI-assisted development tools for code generation, debugging acceleration, automated documentation drafting, and test case scaffolding — improving individual engineering productivity while critically evaluating all AI-generated outputs for correctness and quality.
- Applied security, compliance, and risk-awareness practices throughout the SDLC — implementing IAM least-privilege access controls, secrets management for database credentials, VPC network isolation, audit logging, and change control procedures aligned with enterprise governance requirements.
- Identified and presented service quality and availability improvement opportunities within the GCP pipeline environment — analyzing pipeline failure patterns, proposing runbook-based resolutions, and escalating systemic issues with structured diagnostic context to meet SLA commitments.
- Automated ETL workflow orchestration using Apache Airflow (Cloud Composer) — implementing parameterized, event-driven DAG schedulers with retry logic, failure alerting, and execution audit trails to ensure reliable, zero-touch pipeline execution.
- Collaborated as a strong team player in agile sprint cycles — participating in code reviews, design discussions, and cross-functional stakeholder communication to deliver software increments on schedule with high quality.
