PROJECTS
DWH- Healthcare
<p>I work as an Azure Data Engineer, mainly focusing on building and maintaining end-to-end data pipelines. I use Azure Data Factory for data ingestion and orchestration, Azure Data Lake Storage for data storage, and Databricks with PySpark and SQL for transformation. I work with Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers, including incremental loads and data-quality validations. I also monitor pipeline executions, troubleshoot failures, perform source-to-target validation, and support the preparation of curated datasets for reporting.</p>
