Hello, I'm Akhil Vydyula — Lead Data Engineer at Publicis Sapient, and Former Senior Data Scientist at PwC.
With over 5 years of rich industry experience and a strong focus on the BFSI sector, I’ve led and delivered end-to-end data and analytics solutions that power strategic decisions and transform business outcomes.
At Publicis Sapient, I currently lead complex data engineering initiatives, leveraging my deep expertise in cloud-native platforms like AWS to architect robust, scalable data pipelines. My work spans across developing and optimizing ETL workflows using PySpark and Spark SQL, orchestrating data flows via EMR, Step Functions, and EventBridge, and driving real-time and batch data processing into PostgreSQL (RDS/Redshift) environments. I've also implemented AWS Glue and DMS to seamlessly replicate and transform large-scale on-premise data into cloud-native formats.
Previously, at PwC, I specialized in advanced analytics and machine learning within the Advisory Consulting practice. I’ve built and deployed predictive models using statistical analysis, regression, classification, clustering, and text mining—particularly for risk identification and decision modeling. My passion lies in transforming raw data into actionable insights through effective data storytelling and visualization.
In parallel to my corporate career, I bring over 5 years of teaching experience, mentoring hundreds of aspiring data professionals. I’m deeply committed to helping students break into the data industry by translating real-world challenges into practical learning experiences.
Whether it's building data pipelines, uncovering business insights, or shaping the next generation of data talent, I thrive at the intersection of technology, strategy, and impact.
