I am a Software Engineer (Data Engineer) at 73 Strings, a fintech startup backed by Blackstone and Goldman Sachs. Over the past 1+ year, I have worked extensively on building and optimizing data engineering and backend systems, leveraging technologies such as Spring Boot, Angular, Databricks, Apache Kafka, and Talend. One of my key contributions has been helping migrate the data engineering architecture from Talend to Databricks, enabling more scalable and efficient data processing workflows. I’m passionate about data engineering, distributed systems, and modern data platforms, and I’m excited to share the practical knowledge and lessons I’ve gained throughout my journey with others in the tech community.
