Vihasith Rasala

I’m a Data Engineer & BI Developer with 5+ years of experience designing and optimizing data pipelines, analytics platforms, and visualization solutions across cloud and on-premise environments. My expertise spans Power BI, SQL (Oracle/Postgres/Snowflake), Python, Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and Jenkins, with a strong focus on data modeling, ETL automation, and performance tuning.

My journey began in Civil & Transportation Engineering, where I worked on remote sensing and GIS projects using ArcGIS, preparing contours, spatial analysis, and infrastructure datasets. That foundation gave me a unique perspective on geospatial data, public-sector systems, and the value of data-driven decision-making.

Since then, I’ve delivered projects across industries—public sector (State of Ohio), utilities (PG&E), healthcare/dental (Kaizen Family Dental), and academia (University of Cincinnati)—building solutions that reduced manual effort, cut ETL runtimes by up to 60%, and improved reporting accuracy and adoption.

I thrive at the intersection of data engineering, analytics, and problem-solving—turning complex datasets into reliable pipelines, secure environments, and intuitive dashboards.
