About Me

Hi, I'm Amudha Balamurugan

I’m a Cloud Data Engineer specializing in AWS, with hands-on experience building data pipelines, serverless architectures, and analytics systems that turn raw data into something teams can actually use.

I focus on designing scalable ETL workflows and cloud-native data infrastructure using services like S3, Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, and Amazon Comprehend, while keeping cost-efficiency and reliability front and center. My background spans both AWS and GCP data engineering tooling (BigQuery, Cloud Data Fusion), and I bring 8+ years of college-level teaching experience in Electronics/ECE to how I explain and document technical systems.

What drives me is turning messy, disconnected data into pipelines and dashboards that help businesses make faster, smarter decisions.
