Priyam’s strengths span Python, SQL, Spark, Kafka, Databricks, Snowflake, data architecture, feature engineering, retrieval-augmented generation \(RAG\), LLM operations, and agent systems. At Intuit, Priyam architected a Databricks, Delta Lake, and Snowflake lakehouse that consolidates 25+ enterprise systems for 200+ stakeholders, while reducing pipeline latency from 95 minutes to under 18 minutes across more than 15 million daily financial events. Previously, Priyam modernized Heeva Infra’s legacy reporting stack, recovered $894K across a 12-client portfolio through Python cost-forecasting models, and built real-time data infrastructure processing 17.5 million monthly transactions. During a research co-op at Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, Priyam rebuilt a 48-hour genomic workflow into 15-minute distributed PySpark runs across 5.8TB of clinical and biobank data. That work supported ensemble models with 96% AUC, five peer-reviewed publications, six novel biomarkers, and an ESC Young Investigator Award. Priyam holds a master’s degree in Information Systems from Northeastern University and a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology from the University of Mumbai. ## Services - Oracle Database - Feature Engineering -
