I'm Chirag – a Data Engineer with 4.8+ years of experience building cloud-native data platforms using GCP, Airflow, Azure, Python, SQL and Generative AI. Google Cloud Professional Data Engineer and Claude Certified Architect – Foundations, with hands-on experience designing AI-powered engineering accelerators and enterprise migration solutions.
I'm a data engineer who likes the unglamorous part of the job: making data move reliably from one place to another, then making it move faster and cheaper. Most of my work lives in migration and platform engineering - taking legacy on-prem systems and rebuilding their data flows on Google Cloud.
Lately I've paired classic pipeline work with GenAI, using models like Gemini, Claude and Copilot to automate discovery and migration tasks that used to take weeks. I also build the accelerators, schemas and governance features that keep large migration programs honest - metadata, audit trails, approvals and alerting.
I currently lead and mentor engineers at Accenture while building AI-powered accelerators, cloud migration solutions and enterprise-grade data platforms.
Outside of work, I enjoy sharpening my analytical thinking through strategy and logic games. I'm currently maintaining a 500+ day Chess Puzzle streak, and I enjoy solving Sudoku to continually challenge my pattern recognition and problem-solving skills.
