Summary
Prateek Kakirwar is a data engineering and infrastructure leader with 12 years of experience delivering end-to-end BI and enterprise data warehouse solutions for Fortune 500 companies, currently leading data engineering at Slack in Sunnyvale. He blends deep expertise in BI platforms (BusinessObjects, MicroStrategy, Hyperion), ETL tools (Informatica, ODI, OWB, Pentaho) and strong PL/SQL/data modeling skills (Kimball/Inmon) with hands-on experience in big data and cube design. Prateek has repeatedly owned full project lifecycles—from business analysis and data modeling to ETL implementation and reporting—demonstrating fast, high-throughput delivery on complex transformations. His background spans finance, retail, energy and hi-tech domains, and he brings a rare combination of architecture-level knowledge (BO XI, Informatica SOA/Grid) and practical performance tuning at scale. A self-starting team player with graduate training from UC Berkeley and a track record at Intuit, RingCentral and Tata, he is as comfortable mentoring teams as he is diving into low-level query and ETL optimization.
