Michael Mashava
Data & AI Engineer | Python, SQL, Power BI, Java, FastAPI | ETL Pipelines, RAG & AI Automation
I am an IT graduate specialising in Data Engineering, AI Systems, and Full-Stack Development. I bridge the gap between heavy transactional data pipelines and intelligent LLM-driven automation.
What I bring to the table:
• Data Engineering & BI: End-to-end ETL pipelines (SQL Server, Talend, SSIS) and automated reporting engines.
• AI & Automation Engineering: Multi-tier cascading RAG systems, domain-specific NLP pipelines (spaCy, SentenceTransformers), and asynchronous LLM orchestrations (Prefect, Gemini, FastAPI) optimised for low latency and minimal compute costs.
• Full-Stack Systems: Resilient applications with Python, Java (Spring Boot), Vue.js, and REST APIs, including embedded JVM tuning and secure authentication protocols.
Core Stack:
Languages: Python, SQL, Java, JavaScript
Data & Analytics: PostgreSQL, MS SQL Server, Power BI, SSIS, Talend, ETL
AI/ML & Automation: LLMs, RAG, Prefect, FastAPI, spaCy, Prompt Engineering, Docker
