I'm a Data Engineer
About
I'm a Data Engineer based in Dubai, UAE, with more than six years of experience building dependable ETL pipelines, data-quality processes and analytics-ready platforms. I work across SQL, Python, Azure, Databricks and specialist data tooling to turn fragmented operational data into trusted, usable information.
At Watt Utilities Commercial Brokers FZCO, I develop data integrations for UK energy, CRM, Companies House, Google/Places and third-party sources. My current focus includes entity resolution, Golden Records, Master Data Management, lakehouse architecture and automation that reduces manual preparation while improving governance and reliability.
I completed my Master of Computer Science at Lincoln University Malaysia in 2025. Outside work, I document travel, places and cultural events through photography, video and the separate blog.
