Hi, I'm Raj!

I have 19+ years in developing and managing data and analytical platforms in banking and insurance domains. I worked ~4 years on site (USA, Sweden) in customer facing and subject matter expert roles. I have been managing the private bank data platforms (on-prem data warehouse, data lake and cloud lakehouse) for Morgan Stanley for the last 9 years.

On the business front, I have led the development of complex data products that are part of the banking business workflows, regulatory reporting projects and new product launches. On the technology front, I have delivered end-to-end data engineering projects across data warehouse, data lake and cloud platforms.

I have managed data engineering teams through all phases of the SDLC from requirements through implementation. I am familiar with Waterfall and Agile methodologies.

I have performed various roles such as Data Engineering Manager, IT System Owner, Data Modeller, Application Architect, Data Architect, Subject Matter Expert and Information Architecture Chapter Lead through my career.

Please get in touch if you think my professional experience can help solve exciting data engineeing problems.
