About Maahir Azmain Chowdhury

A graduate of the University of South Florida with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, I am a dynamic professional with expertise in both Data Engineering and Outside Plant (OSP) Fiber Design, driven by a passion for building scalable, high-performance systems. My experience as a Data Engineer at BayShore Communication involved developing and optimizing ETL pipelines using Python and Apache Airflow, leveraging AWS Redshift and Snowflake to enhance data warehousing, and implementing real-time data ingestion solutions with Kafka and Spark Streaming, significantly boosting data accuracy and scalability. In parallel, I have contributed to impactful OSP projects at Skarion, where I played a key role in the design and deployment of a multi-phase residential fiber network covering over 40 miles and connecting 500+ homes. My responsibilities included drafting detailed HLD and LLD documentation, optimizing fiber routes, preparing splice matrices, and managing the preparation of over 100 permit packages, all while ensuring strict compliance with NESC/DOT standards and coordinating projects with a $3M procurement budget. With hands-on experience in cloud technologies, fiber-optic network planning, and a strong foundation in data engineering, I thrive on collaborating with cross-functional teams to create innovative, end-to-end solutions that drive efficiency and growth in data-driven environments. I am eager to bring my diverse skill set to new challenges, making a meaningful impact across industries through a seamless fusion of engineering expertise and technology-driven solutions.
