I'm Ashyam, a problem-solver
who makes data trustworthy.
7+ years building analytics platforms and data infrastructure for companies that actually care about their data (and a few that learned to care the hard way).
Currently Lead Data Engineer at Saras Analytics, leading a team of 4. We build data products for e-commerce clients who need their numbers to mean something.
I specialize in the modern data stack — Python, dbt, BigQuery, Airflow — and occasionally wander into React when nobody else will fix the dashboard.
Location-flexible. Open to remote, hybrid, or wherever the coffee is good.
Where I've Shipped Real Code
7+ years of turning “it works on my machine” into “it works in production.” Most of the time.

Things I've Built...that actually (kinda) work
Side projects, internal tools, and the occasional “I'll just learn a new framework this weekend” adventure.
Clarity
Personal Finance Platform
End-to-end data platform using Python, Airflow, dbt, BigQuery. Features LLM-based transaction categorization and an AI financial advisor for spending insights.
DE Agent
AI Debugging Assistant
Built with Claude Agent SDK, deployed on Cloud Run with Slack integration. Reduced RCA time from 1-2 hours to 10-30 minutes across the team.
Pulse Admin
Observability Platform
Full-stack tool with React & Firebase monitoring BigQuery costs, DAG health, and data quality. Self-taught React to fill a gap nobody else would.
The Credentials...nobody asks about
Proof that I can sit through lectures and pass exams. The real learning happened after graduation.
