Experience

Principal Data Consultant

Xebia, Abu Dhabi
Jan 2026 - Present · 6 months

Architecting and processing real-time airline traveller event data (Travel DNA) from Azure Event Hubs into Azure Databricks using a scalable Databricks Lakehouse and Medallion Architecture.
Designed event-driven streaming pipelines with exactly-once processing semantics and fault-tolerant architecture, ensuring highly reliable downstream analytics.
Optimised data model by analysing 30+ tables and eliminating 700+ redundant columns, reducing storage footprint by ~30% and improving query performance.
Implemented Delta Lake optimisations (partitioning, compaction, schema evolution, Z-ordering) to improve query performance and reduce compute costs.
Built and standardised incremental data processing frameworks, real-time ingestion pipelines, and streaming ETL solutions for near real-time analytics use cases.
Enabled high-volume streaming analytics using Spark Structured Streaming and Azure Event Hub integration.
