About Me

Learn more about my journey and expertise

I'm Meet, a Data Analyst II based in Houston, currently working at Nitu Group - a multi-brand franchise company operating 94+ locations across Texas, Florida, and Colorado. I work at the intersection of data engineering and analytics, turning raw operational data into decisions that actually move the business.

At Nitu Group, I work inside a modern cloud data stack: POS systems feed into AWS S3 and GCP Storage, land in BigQuery as the warehouse, get transformed via dbt Cloud, and surface through Power BI dashboards used across store, area, and regional management. I maintain 60+ dbt models and built 16+ new ones for historical backloading of sales and payroll data.

Beyond my current role, I've built end-to-end cloud pipelines on Azure - Data Factory into ADLS Gen2, Databricks with PySpark, and Synapse Analytics and mirrored that on AWS using Lambda, Glue, and Athena. Clean, structured, reliable data infrastructure is what I care about building.

I've also explored agentic AI - built a stock recommendation system using LangChain and LangGraph that autonomously researches market data and surfaces investment insights. It's the direction I see data heading, and I want to stay ahead of it.

Let's connect!
