  • Migrated a legacy enterprise data warehouse to Microsoft Fabric Lakehouse as part of a 5-member team, owning data lineage tracking to cut regulatory audit findings by 30%.
  • Built a secure hybrid ingestion layer migrating 500 GB of on-premises operational data into Microsoft Fabric on schedule within a broader migration structure.
  • Developed ETL and ELT pipelines using Fabric Notebooks, PySpark, and SQL to process 750M+ monthly records, improving downstream analytics throughput by 25%.
  • Implemented Medallion Architecture on Delta Lake with schema enforcement, deduplication, incremental loading, and ACID compliance to address audit consistency issues.
  • Built 15+ automated data quality and reconciliation checks in Python and PySpark, improving consistency by 20% across finance and operations reporting datasets.

Projects

github.com/mahammadadilshaik382-max — one production-style data engineering project, built end-to-end and verified

with real run results Medallion Architecture Lakehouse — PySpark · Delta Lake | End-to-end Bronze-Silver-Gold pipeline on a 7,000+ row

public dataset, built to mirror production patterns from the Bell Canada and TalkTalk engagements above. View repo.

Metadata-driven ingestion (config/pipeline_config.json, src/bronze_ingestion.py) — source tables, load type, and primary keys are all config-driven via a JSON control file rather than hardcoded, the same pattern used to onboard 30+ source

tables in production without rewriting pipeline code.

Automated data quality framework (src/utils/data_quality.py) — reusable validation library (null thresholds, duplicate key detection, schema checks, row-count reconciliation) that ran 9/9 checks passing with 0% row loss end-to-end on this dataset.
