👋 Hi, I'm Vijay Rodrigues

🧑‍💻 About Me

With 7+ years of experience, I specialize in data engineering, analytics, and automation—helping businesses transform raw data into meaningful insights.
My work spans across APAC, ANZ, and North America in the insurance sector, where I design and optimize scalable ETL pipelines, ensuring efficient data processing and migration.


💡 My Journey: From Recruitment to Data Engineering

I started my career as an IT Recruiter, but my fascination with data and analytics led me to transition into data engineering.
Looking back, I realized that no matter what profession we work in, we all engage in some form of analysis.

🎯 Lessons from Recruitment:

  • 📊 Data-Driven Decisions: Understanding market trends, candidate skills, and job requirements is no different from analyzing datasets.
  • 📢 Storytelling: In analytics, we derive insights from data; in recruitment, we present information meaningfully to both clients and candidates.

This shift fueled my passion for solving data challenges, and today I work with tools like Apache Spark, PySpark, Azure Databricks, Snowflake, and Python to build high-performance, scalable data solutions.
