About Me
I am a Senior Data Engineer with proven expertise in Microsoft data platforms and deep practical knowledge of building systems that scale. I design platforms and teach the principles behind them.
I specialize in designing scalable cloud-native data architectures on Azure and Microsoft Fabric, with a focus on ETL/ELT pipelines, data warehousing, and analytics enablement. My experience spans finance and tech, where I have led platform transformations that reduced data latency, improved quality, and empowered business teams. I understand the full stack—from infrastructure and engineering to the business problems data systems solve.
Beyond engineering, I am committed to education. Through ReskillIT (131+ YouTube videos, 360+ subscribers), I create practical, real-world tutorials on Power BI, SQL, Azure, and data careers. This is not theoretical content—it is based on the actual challenges I solve daily. Teaching has made me a better engineer, and engineering keeps my teaching grounded in reality.
My approach bridges two worlds: engineering rigor (proper architecture, scalability, reliability) and business impact (solving real problems, enabling decisions, creating value). Whether designing a data lake, optimizing pipelines, speaking at events, or mentoring engineers, I focus on solutions that work at scale and knowledge that actually helps people grow.

Testimonials
What colleagues, clients, and collaborators have to say.
"Working with Augustine completely changed how we approached data engineering. He doesn't just build pipelines—he designs systems that scale and actually solve business problems. The platform he built for us dramatically improved performance and gave us real-time visibility into our data. He's a rare mix of technical excellence and strategic thinking."
Faisal
Finance & Data Leadership
"We used to struggle with slow, unreliable reports—but Augustine transformed everything. Our data is now faster, cleaner, and far more accessible. It's had a direct impact on how confidently we make decisions as a business."
Akinyemi
Business Intelligence Leader
"Augustine explains data engineering in a way that finally clicks. His teaching is practical, clear, and based on real experience—not just theory. Thanks to his content, I've built real projects and feel confident stepping into the data field."
