Hi, I’m Viraj — a Senior Data Engineer, Systems Thinker, and Career Mentor passionate about building smart, scalable data solutions with real-world impact. Currently, I work on designing robust data pipelines and analytics infrastructure that power decision-making at scale. Whether it’s wrangling complex datasets, optimizing ETL workflows, or diving into cloud-native architectures, I love turning messy data into meaningful insights. I bring a thoughtful blend of technical expertise and mentorship to everything I do, with a strong belief that tech should be inclusive, ethical, and built for people first. My career spans industries and use cases, and I thrive at the intersection of automation, data strategy, and forward-thinking engineering. Outside of work, I'm a passionate cricket fan, deeply committed to mentoring early-career professionals and students breaking into data. I share career guidance, resume feedback, and real talk about navigating the ups and downs of tech from an authentic place. If you’re figuring out how to break into data, grow your confidence as an engineer, or level up your impact. 📫 Reach out if you’re exploring data careers, scaling your skill set, or just want to chat about building meaningful tech that lasts.
