About Darshan Dhande

I am a results-driven technologist specialising in cloud-native backend and data solutions. Over the past 4 years I’ve developed high-traffic REST APIs in Node.js, built Python-based ETL pipelines on AWS (Lambda, S3, Aurora) and enabled real-time data flows for business analytics. For example, I reduced data ingestion latency by 80% and improved pipeline throughput by 30%.Now I’m focused on moving into a full-fledged Data Engineer role - designing scalable data architectures, building data warehouses/lakes and enabling data-driven decision-making in global enterprises.I welcome conversations about data-engineering challenges, cloud transformation projects and how my background can add value to teams working at scale. Let’s connect!
