About Praneeth Thoutam

Experienced Data Engineering Lead | Business Intelligence Specialist | People Manager With over 16 years of expertise in BI, Data Engineering, and Software Development, I am passionate about building scalable ETL pipelines, data marts, and comprehensive dashboards that drive business insights. I have a proven track record of leading global teams to deliver agile Data Warehousing solutions, and I specialize in designing customized data models, driving self-service analytics, and optimizing complex data environments. Currently a BI Solution Specialist at Google, I lead business intelligence efforts for Google Cloud Cortex Framework. I collaborate across teams to design scalable data models and implement robust, out-of-the-box Looker dashboards, enhancing customer experiences and streamlining reporting processes. Previously, as a Lead Data Engineer at Fitbit, I led key initiatives to optimize data pipeline efficiency, saving millions through infrastructure improvements. My work at GoDaddy and Akamai further strengthened my ability to manage large datasets, streamline ETL processes, and ensure high-quality, SOX-compliant data systems. I bring a deep understanding of cloud technologies (AWS, GCP), big data tools (Hadoop, Spark, Snowflake), and BI platforms (Looker, Tableau). Additionally, I have strong leadership skills, guiding teams to deliver high-impact solutions and optimize query performance for enterprise clients.
