About Aravinth

I help companies migrate and make their data platforms reliable on GCP, without data loss or critical interruption.
I work on sensitive environments where data quality and pipeline stability are essential.

I work in high-stakes contexts (finance, HR, compliance) with high demands for quality, traceability, and reliability.

What I do

• Migrate data systems (databases, pipelines, data warehouse)
• Implement robust and monitored pipelines
• Ensure data reliability and quality control
• Industrialize data workflows (CI/CD, infrastructure as code)

Tech Stack

• GCP: BigQuery, Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, GCS
• Python / Advanced SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL, DuckDB)

• Terraform, Docker, CI/CD

What I bring

• Reliable pipelines (monitoring, alerting, incident management)
• Secure migrations (tests, rollback, data quality checks)
• Complete autonomy (infra → data → production deployment)

Goal: secure production deployments and prevent data incidents.
