Darpen Bhandari - Azure Data Engineer in Germany

Who I Am

I am a Data Engineer based in Mannheim, Germany with around 5 years of experience building data pipelines, API-based integrations and analytics-ready datasets across finance, healthcare and applied data projects. My work focuses on connecting operational systems, cleaning and transforming raw data and designing reliable data layers that support reporting, KPI tracking and business decision-making. I mainly work with Python, SQL, Azure Data Factory, Azure Data Lake, Azure SQL, REST APIs, Azure DevOps and Power BI. I enjoy working at the point where engineering, data quality and business reporting meet: turning scattered source data into structured, validated and reusable datasets that teams can trust. I am currently open to full-time Data Engineering, Azure Data Engineering, ETL/ELT and BI Engineering roles across Germany and Europe.
