ABOUT NISHA PATRAO

I’m a Senior Data & Platform Engineer with 15 years of experience designing scalable data systems, building automation, and delivering cloud‑based solutions that improve performance, reliability, and decision‑making. My work spans data architecture, ETL development, SQL engineering, cloud migration, and platform optimization across large, complex environments.I enjoy solving complex problems — whether that means tuning a query that cuts processing time in half, automating a workflow that saves hundreds of hours, or designing a data pipeline that gives teams the insights they need. I’ve led and mentored cross‑functional teams, partnered closely with business stakeholders, and delivered solutions used by executives during high‑visibility product launches.My technical foundation includes SQL, Python, Vertica, Teradata, Redshift, Tableau, Kafka, AWS, and automation tools like Ansible and Terraform. I also have experience with Java, Node.js, ASP.NET, JScript, and C# from my graduate program, giving me a well‑rounded understanding of modern software engineering.While working full‑time, I completed my M.S. in Computer Information Systems with a 4.0 GPA and was honored as the Top Graduating Student. I was also featured on the Dean\'s list. I’m always learning, always improving, and always looking for ways to build cleaner, faster, more reliable systems.If you’re passionate about data, cloud engineering, or automation, I’d love to connect.
