Lei Zhao is a Data Engineer based in Sydney with a decade of experience building cloud-native data platforms and scalable ETL pipelines. Over the past five-plus years he has led migrations from on-premises systems to AWS Data Lakes, optimized Redshift performance, and developed containerized ETL tools and Lambda-based ingestion for real-time and batch sources.
