Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPrashant Gupta is a data engineer with a PhD and 12 years of cross-disciplinary experience building scalable data pipelines, repositories, and analytics across academia, startups, and enterprise (including Amazon). He combines big-data engineering (Spark, Hadoop, EMR) and AWS production pipelines (S3, Glue, Redshift, Lambda, Kinesis) with hands-on Python and shell tooling to move and harmonize multi-terabyte datasets for domains ranging from music apps to global biodiversity and geoscience. His postdoctoral work focused on taxonomy alignment, data decay analysis and automated extraction/standardization of massive biodiversity archives, where he built reproducible tools that handle 2TB+ archive versions and informed peer-reviewed research. Comfortable translating research problems into production systems, he has led instrument-scale repository projects (1PB/year) and startup analytics architecture, demonstrating both product-mindedness and deep data stewardship. Actively seeking industry data engineering roles in locations open to visa sponsorship (UK, Canada, Europe), he brings a rare blend of research rigor and pragmatic engineering that surfaces non-obvious data-quality and harmonization insights.
