Sr. Cloud Data Engineer · 6+ Years · Mumbai, India

I've spent 6 years building data pipelines, leading cloud migrations, and watching engineers struggle to break into this field without good resources. So I built the platform I wished existed when I started.

The story

Why I built DataLabb

I started my career as an Associate Data Engineer with no roadmap. Nobody told me which tools actually mattered, which concepts to learn first, or what production data engineering looked like versus tutorial-land. I figured it out the hard way — through broken pipelines, expensive cloud mistakes, and a lot of late nights.

After 6 years at Accenture and Simform — migrating 200+ ETL jobs to AWS, cutting infrastructure costs by 85%, building serverless systems from scratch, and leading a team of 11 engineers — I know exactly what separates engineers who get hired from those who don't.

It's not knowledge. It's applied practice on real infrastructure. Every strong data engineer I've interviewed had one thing in common: they had built something real. Not a tutorial project. An actual pipeline that moved actual data.

DataLabb exists to close that gap. To give you the structured path, the real cloud environments, and the mentorship that I didn't have — so you can skip the years of figuring it out yourself and get straight to building things that matter.
