Hi, I'm Amogh!

Engineer by trade.
Curious cat by nature.

I like figuring out how things work, then finding ways to make them better. Most days, that means building with data and code. I focus on solving the immediate problem while making the next one less likely.

Machine learning studies.

A collection of ML projects I built while working through feature engineering, classification, regression, and clustering.

Python / PyTorch / Scikit-learn

Data analytics

Driver risk analysis.

I looked at velocity, location, and driver behaviour to see how they connect to risk, then turned the results into transport insights.

PySpark / Hadoop / R / Power BI

Design & development

Portfolio, version one.

My first real attempt at a portfolio: custom React components, responsive layouts, and plenty of room to experiment.

02 / About

Amogh smiling in a grey button-down shirt against a dark backdrop — Intern day, 2024.

Data engineering
with context.

I build the parts of a data system most people never see.

I'm a Data Engineer at the Teacher Retirement System of Texas, and I have a master's in Business Analytics and AI from UT Dallas. I build and maintain pipelines, move older workflows into cloud tooling, and work on internal document intelligence services.

Some days that means fixing a failed pipeline. Other days it means making the next failure less likely. I like that part of the job: when everything is working, the data is almost invisible.

Where I've worked
so far.

Roles and dates.

Jul 2025 – Present NowData EngineerTeacher Retirement System of Texas

At the moment, I work across data integration, pipeline operations, and document intelligence.

I build Azure integrations across Microsoft Fabric, Data Lake Storage, and Synapse. I also added automated synchronization so downstream datasets do not go stale.
I monitor production ETL and ELT pipelines, chase down failures, and improve the parts that keep breaking.
I built Python and FastAPI services for a document intelligence platform using Azure AI Search, Document Intelligence, and RAG to pull useful information from PDFs.

Aug – Dec 2024Software Development &
Data Engineering InternKTech Products LLC

At KTech, I worked on data pipelines and software features. The changes improved processing efficiency by 40%, cut ETL runtime by 30%, and helped us resolve more than 30 critical issues in code review.

Azure / Python / PyTorch

Jun – Aug 2024IT Intern, Investment & Data AnalyticsTeacher Retirement System of Texas

I used PySpark to bring client APIs into our data imports, improved SQL Server indexing and queries, and helped move SSIS packages to Azure Synapse.

Outside the job description

Here's the part I don't put on LinkedIn.

Design, games, music, stories, and a few trips. Switch modes for the longer version.

Hey, it's still Amogh!

Off the clock.
On a side quest.

When I log off, I'm usually playing something, listening to something, or halfway through a book, show, or film. Sometimes I even leave the house.

01 / My journey From imagined worlds to building things

It started with stories.
Then I wanted to build.

Amogh's folded treasure map with a route connecting books, games, design, engineering, and data and AI — The route so far.

I read my first fiction book in first grade. I found inexplicable joy in ancient mythology, from the tragedies of Heracles to the gods of the Egyptian Ennead. Like many kids my age, I grew up spending hours playing video games. God of War, Prototype, and the worlds they let me explore only deepened my fascination with stories.

That fascination led me to design, which still shapes how I approach things today. At first, I thought design was all about aesthetics and eye candy. Then I learned how much thought could go into even the most ordinary, unassuming object. Take the humble lota, an everyday water vessel that Charles and Ray Eames described as “perhaps the greatest, the most beautiful” of the objects they encountered during their travels in India. It changed how I looked at the things around me.

Spoiler alert; I didn't end up pursuing design as a career, but my love of tinkering and figuring out how things work led me to a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering. The stories never left me. Industrial manufacturing connected the machinery I was studying to the swordsmiths forging the legendary swords from the stories I loved.

Another turn took me to Texas for a master's in Business Analytics and AI at UT Dallas, and then into data engineering. Today, I work at a state agency with a team I'm proud to be part of, doing work I look forward to each day. It's been quite an odyssey, and I'm still far from home. Cheers to life!
