Report

Hey Faris Here :D

A Data & AI Engineer at the intersection of modern data engineering and agentic AI currently building production-grade data platforms and autonomous trading systems at enmacc, a leading OTC energy trading marketplace in Munich.

My work spans the full data stack: designing scalable Medallion architectures on AWS (Glue, S3, Lake Formation, Lambda), orchestrating pipelines with Apache Airflow, and provisioning cloud infrastructure via Terraform and AWS CloudFormation. I've also led an analytics transformation from Power BI/Tableau to ThoughtSpot, enabling natural language search analytics for trading decisions. On the AI side, I'm deep in agentic R&D designing goal-oriented trading agents using Google ADK and Amazon Bedrock, and completed my M.Sc. thesis on LLM Multi-Agent Systems in OTC energy liquidity simulation (benchmarking Gemini 2.5 Flash agents against deterministic rule-based agents in RFQ dynamics).

Before enmacc, I spent 5+ years in enterprise data engineering:

• At Royal Cyber, I migrated legacy insurance and finance systems to Snowflake using Data Vault 2.0, with Talend, Kafka, and Airflow.

• At Astera Software, I was a core contributor to their Data Warehouse Builder a low-code, metadata-driven DWH creation platform with automated Data Vault generation.

My technical toolkit: Python, SQL, PySpark, Snowflake, AWS, Azure, Databricks, Apache Kafka, Spark, Data Vault 2.0, Kimball, Medallion Architecture, LLMOps, PyTorch, TensorFlow, ThoughtSpot, Terraform, Docker, GitHub Copilot, Cursor.I believe the best data architecture is the one that actually works and I build data systems that scale with business reality, not just technical ambition.
