Technologies: Skywise (Palantir Foundry), PySpark, AWS, DatabricksI work at the intersection of advanced data engineering and strategic business value, delivering high-impact solutions within Airbus’s digital platform built on Foundry Palantir.My mission involves architecting and optimizing complex pipelines that power critical aviation analytics and operational decision-making at scale.Key Achievements: Designed and implemented scalable data pipelines for high-volume datasets (3.5TB+), using Foundry transforms (incremental, snapshot, partitioned) to power reporting on flight operations, aircraft performance, and maintenance. Built robust data models handling diverse sources, with schema enforcement and intelligent fallback logic to ensure consistency.🧠 Delivered business-aligned insights by enabling performant aggregations and joins across flight phases (e.g. climb, cruise) and ground events, directly supporting operational excellence and fleet optimization strategies. Led performance tuning efforts: reduced costs and compute time via optimized repartitioning, coalescing, Hive-style physical partitioning, and tuning of resource profiles in Foundry job specs.🧩 Collaborated with cross-functional teams to define data ownership, lineage, and governance, ensuring compliance with aviation data quality standards and traceability requirements.Business Impact:My pipelines directly fuel dashboards and predictive tools used by operations and engineering teams, driving decisions that impact aircraft availability, cost optimization, and safety.
