I’m an Assistant Vice President (AVP) and Data Engineer at Barclays, with prior experience working at JP Morgan and Goldman Sachs. My background is firmly rooted in financial services, where I’ve built and maintained production-grade data pipelines supporting analytics, risk, and business-critical decision-making. I have hands-on experience with Spark, AWS, Python, and advanced SQL, working with large-scale datasets and solving real-world problems around performance, reliability, and data quality. Having worked across top-tier investment banks, I understand how data engineering is actually applied in high-pressure, regulated environments. Alongside my professional work, I’ve actively prepared for and interviewed with FAANG and hedge fund roles, giving me strong insight into modern interview expectations—from deep SQL and Spark questions to data modeling, system design, and behavioural rounds. As a mentor, I help: • Data Engineers & Analysts break into finance, FAANG, and hedge fund roles • Professionals level up SQL, Spark, and data pipeline design • Candidates prepare for technical and behavioural interviews • Engineers transitioning to UK / European tech roles, especially from international backgrounds My mentoring style is practical, structured, and outcome-focused. Every session is tailored to your goals, with honest feedback and clear next steps.
