Kishan Rekhadia · Senior Consultant, Data Engineering

I build reliable data platforms on AWS.

I’m a Senior Consultant at Deloitte with 5+ years in data engineering. Most of my work starts with a difficult migration or reliability problem and ends with a platform the team can run with confidence. I stay hands-on with Python, SQL and PySpark.

Experience

From building pipelines to leading delivery.

I’ve worked across migration, governance and analytics, but the pattern is consistent: understand the source, design a practical path forward and stay close to production.
