About Ahmed

Lead Data Engineer | Data Architect & Scalable Analytics Platforms

I support product, data, and engineering teams in the design, structuring, and scaling of modern, reliable, and business-oriented data platforms.

With over 7 years of experience in high-volume cloud data environments, I primarily focus on areas where data quality, performance, and maintainability are critical:

• Data architecture (batch & streaming)
• Real-time pipelines (Dataflow, Pub/Sub, Beam)
• Data warehouses & lakes (BigQuery, GCS)
• Orchestration & reliability (Airflow / Cloud Composer, monitoring, alerting)
• Governance, event tracking, compliance (GDPR)

I often act as a technical referent or lead, working directly with:
• Product teams
• Backend / Frontend developers
• Analytics, marketing, or CRM teams

I particularly enjoy projects that involve:
• Taking over an existing platform and improving its reliability
• Designing a scalable architecture from scratch
• Structuring good data practices within a team

Goal: build robust, understandable, and long-term exploitable data systems

Available for Lead Data Engineer / Senior Data Engineer roles in cloud environments with significant product or business stakes.
