Services
How I can help
Data Pipeline Engineering
I design and build the pipelines that move financial data from market feeds, bank APIs and internal systems into a reliable, queryable store — so it flows without you thinking about it.
Analytics & ML Systems
I build the systems that take you from raw data to actionable insight, and from a proof-of-concept model to something that actually runs in production — reliably and repeatably.
Platform & Infrastructure
I set up and run the platform layer — container orchestration, CI/CD and cloud environments — so your team ships faster with fewer production incidents.
About
A bit about me
I'm Arshad — a data engineer with over 15 years of experience building systems that process, analyze, and act on data at scale. Most of my career has been in financial services, including building the core data platform at Stockopedia, where I designed the engineering backbone that powers stock analysis for investors across Europe.
I'm the author of Local-First Analytics (read it free), a Databricks technology partner, and I run Hikmah Technologies as a focused consulting practice — helping companies get their data infrastructure right the first time.
