Summary
Hanif Samad is a Senior Data Engineer based in Singapore with 11 years of experience building data platforms, pipelines and customer-facing analytics products for finance and enterprise clients. He combines a strong statistical foundation (MSc Medical Statistics, Distinction) with hands-on engineering—designing star-schema data marts, ETL in Scala/Spark, and AWS-based lakes/warehouses that powered dozens of dashboards and APIs. His work transformed fragmented NoSQL, RDBMS and time-series sources into centralized repositories and enabled 78 customer-facing products at Saltmine and measurable business impact (e.g., campaign lift and faster fraud detection) at DT One and others. Comfortable crossing the boundary between product, application engineers and customer success, he specializes in translating business logic into auditable data models and operational pipelines. Equally at home prototyping ML/NLP solutions (Spark NLP for clinical notes) as he is shipping production ETL, he blends rigorous research instincts with pragmatic engineering. Colleagues rely on him to turn complex, messy data ecosystems into reliable, interpretable analytics that drive decisions.
