Recent Project

ExperienceEnterprise Metadata-Driven Ingestion & Database Migration PlatformMetadata-Driven Pipeline Architecture:
Architected an end-to-end, metadata-driven ETL pipeline on Azure Data Factory to ingest multi-source data (CSV, Excel, JSON, REST APIs, and MySQL) into ADLS Gen2 without hardcoded logic.

4-Layer Pipeline Hierarchy:
Designed a modular pipeline hierarchy (Master rightarrow Source Type rightarrow Cloud Provider rightarrow File Type) using nested Lookup and Switch activities driven by SQL configurations to trigger downstream Databricks processing.

Database Migration & Secure Extraction:
Executed secure database migration strategies, implementing Self-Hosted Integration Runtime (SHIR) with ADF to seamlessly extract transactional data from MySQL databases into Azure Cloud infrastructure.
