Mirza Hammad Tariq, AWS Data Engineer

AWS Data Engineer with 5+ years building production-grade ETL pipelines, cloud data warehouses, and scalable data architectures in Python, SQL, Dagster, and AWS.

Profile

I'm an AWS Data Engineer with 5+ years building production-grade ETL pipelines, cloud data warehouses and migrations on AWS. I work remotely with teams worldwide and have delivered end-to-end across banking, utilities, aerospace and FMCG.

My sweet spot is AWS data engineering: ETL/ELT orchestration, Redshift and Snowflake warehouses, and pipelines that are cost-conscious by default and honest about their own data quality. Recent work includes a tier-1 bank's Sybase-to-Redshift migration and cutting an AWS Glue bill without touching business logic.
