About

Hi, I'm Pikesh Maharjan, a passionate and experienced Data Engineer based in Kathmandu, Nepal. With over 5 years of experience in data engineering and analysis, I specialize in designing and automating ETL pipelines, handling large-scale data processing, and ensuring efficient data flow for analytics and business intelligence.


I’ve had the opportunity to work at Cotiviti Nepal, Impetus Incorporation and currently working at Infinite, where I contributed to end-to-end data solutions using tools like MS SQL Server, SSIS, Python Actian DataConnect, and Control-M. My expertise also includes PowerShell scripting, T-SQL, Python and optimizing data workflows for performance and scalability.


Currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science, I’m focused on advancing data automation using machine learning—my recent work involves building intelligent schema detection systems to simplify ETL processes.


Outside of work, I’m a photography enthusiast who enjoys capturing moments and exploring the world through a lens.
