ABOUT JISAN ZAMAN

Data Engineering Leader | Full-Stack Architect & AI Velocity SpecialistStrategic leader with a software-first approach to enterprise data platforms.I bridge the gap between high-performance software engineering and scalable data infrastructure. With a background building complex AngularJS and ReactJS applications in secure, high-stakes environments—including cloud native solutions for the US State Department and global logistics firms (in AWS, Azure environments)—I bring a level of rigor and security-mindedness to data.Currently, I am focused on the \"Data-as-Code\" movement, leveraging modern orchestration and agentic AI tools (Cursor, ClaudeCode, OpenCode) to 10x team velocity and architectural consistency.Core Leadership & Technical Pillars:Engineering Velocity: Realistic adopter of agentic development workflows. I use Cursor and ClaudeCode to accelerate complex refactors and mentor teams on using AI to reduce \"toil,\" allowing us to focus on high-level system design and data quality.My philosophy - AI Agents are not going to solve your problem, but they can help you implement come up with good solutions.Cost & Operational Strategy: Proven record of high-impact ROI, such as scaling a team of three while cutting $50k+ in annual costs by replacing high-fee SaaS (Fivetran) with robust, open-source alternatives like Airbyte and Dagster.Secure Infrastructure: Deep experience governing Snowflake warehouses and building dbt models in SOX-compliant environments. I specialize in the full data lifecycle—from secure ingestion to Reverse ETL—ensuring data is a trusted asset for Finance, Accounting, Marketing, IT, and Data Science.Full-Stack Perspective: My experience in frontend frameworks and logistics-scale systems allows me to design data platforms that don\'t just \"exist,\" but actually power the applications and ML models they support.High Expectations, High Support - I\'ve managed and led high performing software and data engineering teams. I set high expectations but \"lead from the front\" by providing high support to my colleagues.
