NIRAJ ZADE
Data Engineer | Software Engineer

I help companies build centralized data lakehouses by gathering data from disparate sources (APIs, databases etc), to enable data science & data driven business decisions - without breaking the bank.

Have spent the past decade working through software, with ~4 years of it within tech companies. Have built for enterprises, startups, as well as myself (indie development).

To your team, I bring an extremely wide knowledge base of systems and operations, cultivated partly because of the personal principle "I should be able to build up an entire company from the techincal side" and partly because people keep coming for consultations regarding their problems.

I am not at all limited by what I know, and have a history of adapting to new tech within 1-2 weeks. It is a result of being in the game for too long - everything rhymes.

Tech I most frequently work with: Spark, FastAPI, Python, SQL, AWS, Airflow, Docker

Strengths include:

• Designing systems and proving architectural decisions through test benches
• Overall range, required to sew together business and build consensus tech in the face of ambiguity
• Rapid explotatory prototyping and building synthetic load simulations (testbenches), to check and prove architectural/systemic feasibility
• Coming up with roadmap/goals for targetted execution. A term you might know is "manager of one"
