I'm Aakash, a Senior Data & AI Engineer with nearly 9 years of experience building scalable, production-grade systems across data engineering, GenAI, and cloud platforms. Over the years, I've worked extensively with Python, PySpark, Databricks, Azure, Java, Spring Boot, and LLM-based systems — across domains like banking and telecom. I've gone from writing my first lines of code to designing end-to-end data pipelines and AI-powered applications that run at scale. What I enjoy just as much as the technical work is helping junior engineers cut through the noise — because the data and AI space moves fast, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed about where to start, what to learn, and how to grow. I can help you with: ->Career roadmaps for Data Engineering, AI/ML, and Software Engineering -> Breaking into data & AI roles from scratch or from a different tech background -> Interview preparation — SQL, PySpark, Python, Databricks, system design, GenAI concepts, Certification Preparations -> Choosing the right tools and tech stack for your goals -> Resume and LinkedIn profile reviews -> Going from junior to senior — what actually matters beyond just coding
