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