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.

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.

03 / Experience

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 Intern
KTech 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.

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.

Games, music, books, TV, film, 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 / InterestsWhat I do when I log off

Games, music,
and good stories.

Video games

Video games.

I like games with big worlds and stories worth finishing. The kind where "one more mission" turns into a whole evening.

Lately: Cyberpunk 2077 / God of War Ragnarök

Music

Music.

Rap is the constant. Lately I've been digging into India's regional scenes, where every language brings its own sound.

Lately: Indian regional rap

Books, TV & film

Books, TV, and film.

Anything with a good story. Christopher Nolan films are a bit of a weakness.

Favourites: Tenet / Oppenheimer / The Odyssey
Watching: Lanterns
