Building data pipelines that hold up under real data.

I'm Ahmed Ali — a Computer Engineering student specializing in Data Engineering. I design end-to-end ETL pipelines, relational data models, and containerized architectures, and I integrate LLM/RAG systems on top of them.

01 · about

Grounded in fundamentals, focused on data.

I'm a Computer Engineering student at Pharos University in Alexandria (P.U.A.), with hands-on experience designing end-to-end ETL pipelines, relational data modeling, and containerized architectures using Docker, MySQL, and PostgreSQL.

Alongside my degree, I'm expanding into cloud data engineering through the DEPI Microsoft Data Engineer track, and I've contributed to an evidence-grounded clinical RAG system built during an AI hackathon — covering document processing, retrieval, and citation-verified answer generation.

I care about pipelines that are reliable before they're clever: schema normalization, encoding-safe parsing, and automated ingestion that doesn't break on messy real-world data.

What I can build for you.

A Data Engineer specializing in designing and building databases, developing data pipelines, and executing end-to-end ETL/ELT processes. I rely on tools like Python, SQL (MySQL, PostgreSQL), and Docker to handle complex, large-scale data efficiently — delivering clean, high-quality, scalable data solutions that support smart business decisions.

Database Design & Modeling

  • Relational and NoSQL schema design, applied with proper normalization and query-efficiency in mind.
  • Writing and optimizing complex SQL queries and stored procedures.

ETL / ELT Pipeline Development

  • Extracting data from multiple sources, cleaning, transforming, and loading it accurately into data warehouses.
  • Automating data flows to keep pipelines updated and consistently reliable.

Data Cleaning & Preprocessing

  • Detecting and handling missing values, duplicates, and inconsistencies in large datasets.
  • Merging and integrating data from different sources into a single, analysis-ready format.

Data Warehouse Design

  • Layered Bronze / Silver / Gold architecture that turns raw source data into trusted, analytics-ready tables.
  • Star-schema modeling with dimensions and facts, plus documented data catalogs and naming conventions.

Containerization & Deployment

  • Packaging data applications and environments with Docker and Docker Compose.
  • Building setups that run consistently across different servers and environments.

Web Data Extraction

  • Collecting and structuring data from websites in a form ready for direct storage.
  • Building scraping workflows that feed straight into a database or pipeline.

how I work

What I actually do.

I combine reliable data systems, algorithmic thinking, and AI-augmented retrieval to solve real problems — not just move data around.

Data Engineering

Designing dependable ETL/ELT workflows, schema design, and warehouse foundations that keep data clean, consistent, and trustworthy.

Algorithms & Systems Thinking

Building efficient data structures and logic-driven applications — from stack-based evaluators to clean, dependable backend scripts.

AI-Augmented Data Systems

Integrating LLM and RAG pipelines on top of structured data so retrieval stays grounded, citation-verified, and genuinely useful.

always learning

Current focus.

Expanding practical depth across the Big Data and cloud data engineering stack — the tools and concepts I'm actively building with right now.

End-to-End ETL Pipeline

containerized

A containerized ETL pipeline that extracts raw CSV data, cleans and standardizes it, and loads it into a MySQL database running in Docker — with schema normalization, encoding-safe parsing, and automated ingestion via SQLAlchemy.
