I build |

4+ years designing enterprise-scale data pipelines and production ML systems — from Snowflake ML model registries to Azure DevOps CI/CD — for global CPG clients across sustainability, procurement, and traceability.

SCROLL

Enterprise-scale pipelines.
Production-grade ML, end to end.

I design MLOps pipelines on Snowflake ML and Snowpark — metadata-driven feature engineering, model training, registry, versioning, and automated batch prediction — orchestrated through Azure DevOps CI/CD. Deep hands-on work across Snowflake, Azure, Databricks, PySpark, and dbt Core, delivering anomaly detection and monitoring for global CPG clients.

Jun 2025 — Present
Sustainability, Traceability & ML-Based Emissions Anomaly Detection — Global CPG Client
  • Architected an end-to-end MLOps accelerator on Snowflake ML and Snowpark for SKU-level emissions anomaly detection — metadata-driven training prep, model registration, versioning, and automated batch prediction.
  • Built a multi-grain anomaly detection design across SKU, zone, and product-category levels, cutting manual variance review effort by 60%.
  • Automated Azure DevOps CI/CD (YAML) for train / deploy / predict against Snowflake, with SPN-based OAuth authentication and secret management for secure, unattended runs.
  • Led sustainability and traceability platforms serving 15+ global markets for a Fortune 500 CPG client, architecting Azure infrastructure across Dev, Pre-Prod, and Production.
  • Engineered Snowflake stored procedures processing 500K+ procurement and traceability records, cutting processing time by 35%.
  • Optimized SQL performance through indexing and warehouse right-sizing, improving average execution time by 40%.

Greenhouse Gas Performance System (GPS)
  • Owned 85% of a flagship GHG emissions monitoring platform spanning procurement, logistics, manufacturing, and packaging for a global CPG client.
  • Built a multi-step BOM SKU Allocation procedure processing 100K+ product records with HALB filtering and weighted-average recipe calculations.
  • Designed a threshold-based anomaly detection framework across 5 grain levels (G1–G5) using z-score analysis — later scaled into the ML-based system above.
  • Authored 50+ dbt Core models across staging, intermediate, and presentation layers with full lineage documentation.
Ecosystem Platform
  • Designed a metadata-driven ADF ingestion framework supporting 6+ source types, adopted across 4+ enterprise projects.
  • Built reusable Snowflake Data Quality and Logging frameworks, reducing data quality incidents by 30%.
Trade Rate Report Migration
  • Migrated legacy MS Access macros and VBA scripts to Databricks workflows using PySpark, improving execution efficiency 3x.
  • Built ACID-compliant PySpark ETL pipelines on Delta Lake for 200K+ trade-rate records with time-travel and rollback.

SKU-Level Emissions Anomaly Detection Accelerator

A production-grade MLOps pipeline that ingests emission activity data, engineers features via a metadata-driven layer, trains and registers models in the Snowflake Model Registry, and serves automated batch predictions — fully automated through Azure DevOps CI/CD.

Extended to detect anomalies at multiple grains (SKU, zone, category) without duplicating code, surfaced through Streamlit and Power BI.

GPS Cortex Analyst — Semantic Layer Prototype

A natural-language querying interface over the GPS Ingredients data model using Snowflake Cortex Analyst, letting non-technical stakeholders self-serve emissions insights without writing SQL.

Defined a YAML-based semantic layer mapping 15+ dbt models to business-friendly metrics, cutting estimated ad-hoc reporting requests by 40%.
