l, I initially built automation scripts for trade reconciliations and reporting using standalone Python and UNIX-based cron jobs. These worked well for smaller data volumes, but as our operations scaled across global teams in London, Hong Kong, and the Bahamas, performance and maintainability became a bottleneck.

I realized I needed to adapt my workflow to better support large-scale, distributed processes. So, I changed how I worked by migrating critical pipelines from PostgreSQL and flat scripts into a more robust ETL framework using Databricks and Delta Lake. I restructured batch processes into streaming jobs and modularized the Python code to be production-grade. I also started using Kafka and Kubernetes to improve system reliability and orchestration.

I try to understand their point of view and be open to new ideas. If I listen without being defensive I know  the other party will also listen. That way we can take the best idea from both and come up with great solution.
