About

Hi, I'm Apurv Chandel, a Data Engineer 2 at Shaadi.com, specializing in backend development, cloud infrastructure, and scalable systems.

As a Data Engineer 2, I lead data pipeline architecture and optimization efforts. I have extensive experience migrating RESTful APIs to GraphQL, managing CI/CD pipelines, upgrading Kafka MSK versions, designing and implementing data solutions with Apache Spark and PySpark, and handling CompIntel Services for vulnerability detection.

I architect and implement ETL/ELT pipelines using Apache Airflow, manage high-volume data processing with Amazon Redshift and DynamoDB, and optimize query performance across distributed systems. My technical expertise includes Python, Java, GoLang, and frameworks like Spring Boot, Flask, and Django, with deep knowledge of AWS services including Lambda, RDS, and EC2.

With a Computer Science degree from IIIT Nagpur (GPA: 8.64/10), I have strong competitive programming credentials including a CodeChef world rank of 152 and 1471st place in Google HashCode 2021. My passion for building efficient, scalable, and high-performance data systems drives continuous innovation and learning.

Let's connect and build something amazing!
