Data Engineer & Data Analytics Practitioner | Azure Services · Databricks · Snowflake | Toronto, Canada
I build end-to-end cloud data pipelines that transform raw, complex data into structured, reliable, analytics-ready datasets. My work spans Azure Services, Databricks, Snowflake, & BI tools — from ingestion and transformation to governance, orchestration, and BI delivery. I am passionate about clean data architecture and sharing that knowledge through my YouTube channel, DataToCrunch.

I'm a Data Engineer and Analytics Practitioner / Educator based in Toronto, building production-grade cloud data pipelines and educating the data community of 8K+ members through my YouTube channel DataToCrunch.
My foundation comes from 3.5+ years at Accenture, where I worked as an Application Development Associate & Application Development Analyst on enterprise-scale SAP IS-U and SAP CRM projects. I contributed across the full SDLC — from system analysis, enhancement development, and debugging, to testing, deployment support, and production incident resolution. Collaborating with global stakeholders on high-priority deliverables gave me a strong understanding of how data flows and behaves at enterprise scale.
Afterwards I completed my 2 years postgraduate program in Business Insights & Analytics at Humber College where I learned Python, SQL, Machine Learning, Predictive Analysis, Power BI, and Tableau. I applied my skills during a Co-op at the Ontario Public Services | Solicitor General, where I built advanced Power BI dashboards — implementing DAX measures, time intelligence, row-level security (RLS), and full database integration.
Today, I independently design and implement end-to-end data pipelines using the modern cloud data stack:
- Azure — Azure Data Factory (parameterized, event-driven & incremental pipelines), Azure SQL Database, ADLS Gen2, Azure Synapse Analytics, Azure Databricks, Azure DevOps, Azure Logic Apps, Azure Key Vault
- Databricks — PySpark, Spark SQL, Delta Live Tables (DLT-streaming tables, materialized views), Medallion Architecture (Bronze/Silver/Gold), Auto Loader, Lakeflow Connect, SCD Type 1 & 2, CDC, Watermarking, Unity Catalog, Lakehouse Federation, Jobs & orchestration
- Snowflake — Snowpipe,SnowSQL,Snowsight UI & Dashboard, COPY INTO, Streams & Tables, semi-structured data (JSON, XML), star/snowflake schemas, fact/dimension tables, clustering keys, Time Travel, zero-copy cloning, SCD Type 2, CDC.
- Data Modeling & Governance — Star & Snowflake Schema, Fact & Dimension tables, Unity Catalog, Lakehouse Federation, cross-platform queries (Snowflake · Azure Synapse · Azure SQL), Row-Level Security
- BI & Visualization — Power BI, Tableau, Databricks SQL dashboards
- DevOps — GitHub, Azure DevOps, CI/CD pipelines
Every project I build is designed from scratch and published end-to-end on my channel to help data enthusiasts learn real-world engineering practices.
