Hi, I’m Vikram Patel, a Google Cloud Certified Data Engineer with 8+ years of industry experience in Java, Big Data Engineering, Cloud Technologies, and Generative AI. I specialize in building scalable data pipelines and distributed systems using Java, Scala, Apache Spark, Kafka, and cloud platforms. I’ve also expanded my expertise into GenAI, working with LLMs, RAG architectures, vector databases, AI agents, and intelligent search applications. I’ve helped professionals prepare for technical interviews, guided freshers in transitioning into Data Engineering and Cloud careers, and mentored developers through real-world projects involving ETL pipelines, streaming systems, cloud deployments, and GenAI applications. My goal is to help you bridge the gap between theory and industry expectations through practical guidance, interview preparation, career mentorship, and hands-on technical insights.
