About Me

Ilias Zaki

I'm a Data Engineer & Analyst with hands-on experience designing and operating end-to-end data platforms in production environments.

Over the past year, I built lakehouse architectures on Microsoft Fabric, orchestrated ETL pipelines, and delivered Power BI dashboards used by business teams daily. I thrive at the intersection of engineering and analytics — I build the systems and I use them.

Outside of data, I explore blockchain systems, quantum computing algorithms, and optimization problems — because the best engineers stay curious.
