Data Engineer / Analytics Engineer — SQL · Python · Spark/Hive-family · ETL pipelines · data modeling Bandar Rimbayu, Telok Panglima Garang 42500, Selangor, Malaysia wongjerngfoong@gmail.com | 016-3119496 | LinkedIn
Data engineer with five years building and maintaining production analytical data pipelines at Lazada Logistics (Alibaba Group). Designs partitioned SQL data models and ETL workflows on Alibaba MaxCompute (ODPS) — a Hadoop/Hive-lineage, Spark-capable cloud data warehouse where SQL transfers directly to HiveSQL and SparkSQL. Implements data-quality controls, optimizes query cost, and models the data assets that power business-intelligence dashboards for regional stakeholders. A Master of Decision Science (operations research, optimization) underpins the data-modeling and analytical work, while earlier ERP and IT-audit delivery (CISA) provides end-to-end project experience across SDLC and Agile and the controls discipline that keeps production data reliable.
