About Pushkar Kishor Wankhede

I am Software Development Engineer (SDE 2) with hands-on experience designing and deploying scalable data pipelines, real-time analytics solutions, and business intelligence dashboards across cloud platforms like Azure. Skilled in PySpark, Kafka, Databricks, and Azure SQL, with a strong foundation in ETL architecture, streaming data, and Power BI reporting. I’ve contributed to the end-to-end development of modular, high-performance data pipelines and real-time ingestion frameworks, enabling timely business insights and reducing processing time by ~30%. In the BI space, I’ve built dynamic dashboards with Row-Level Security (RLS), supported by optimized Azure SQL views and CI/CD pipelines for seamless report deployment. Beyond data engineering, I bring practical machine learning expertise—having developed supervised models in Python for hotel price prediction (97.2% accuracy), implemented ML pipelines using Scikit-learn, and delivered insights via Power BI for stakeholders in the travel domain.
