Open to senior data & ML engineering roles
Building data systems that scale.
I'm Sainath — a Data Engineer II at Amazon Ads with 10+ years turning messy data into reliable systems. I hold the Financial Risk Manager (FRM) certification and have worked across credit risk, insurance, and large-scale ML pipelines.
About
The short version
I design and operate data infrastructure that makes analytics actually usable — clean pipelines, well-modeled tables, and ML feature stores that don't break in production. My background in financial risk (credit scoring, Basel-compliant reporting) shapes how I think about data quality and consequences. Outside of code, I care about reducing time-to-insight for the business teams I support.
