Open to remote roles

Usman Faisal

Senior data engineer. I own the whole path from source system to decision: medallion lakehouses on Microsoft Fabric, orchestrated pipelines in Azure Data Factory, dimensional models in T‑SQL, and the Power BI dashboards on top that people actually open every morning. When the data isn't reachable yet, I build the integration that makes it reachable, across Dynamics 365, CRM and ERP systems and third-party APIs.

What I do

Data engineering on the Microsoft stack

Medallion architecture

Bronze, silver and gold layers in Fabric that actually hold up: raw landed as-is, cleaned and conformed in the middle, dimensional models at the top that analysts can query without asking me first.

Lakehouse and ingestion

Fabric lakehouse solutions with PySpark notebooks and Spark SQL, turning raw source data into curated tables downstream teams can trust.

Pipeline orchestration

Scheduled and incremental loads across Azure Data Factory and Fabric, with monitoring and retry handling so refreshes finish without anyone watching.

Warehouse modelling

T‑SQL across warehouse models, stored procedures and analytical queries on MSSQL and Fabric SQL endpoints, including tuning the queries that got slow.

Reporting people use

Power BI with DAX and Power Query, tuned for responsiveness on large datasets rather than for looking good in a screenshot.

Systems that talk to each other

Integrations across Dynamics 365, CRM and ERP systems and third-party APIs, so the data arrives on its own instead of someone exporting a spreadsheet every Monday.

Selected work

Things I have shipped

Medallion Forge

A tool that automates the medallion build-out in Microsoft Fabric. It stands up the bronze, silver and gold layers, then uses AI to propose the dimension and fact tables from the source schema, so the modelling work that usually eats the first two weeks of a project comes out in a reviewable draft.

Slack HR App

An HR platform handling check-in and check-out time tracking, leave applications, and an admin panel for user management and reporting. Still in daily use by over 500 employees.

LendingPad CRM to Slack integration

A bot pushing live CRM updates and loan documents into the right Slack channels, with scheduled channel archiving so the workspace stayed navigable. Cut team response times by 40%.
