I'm Jalalledin "Moji" Taavoni — a Data Engineer (Azure data platform · SQL Server · BI) who also takes AI to production, based in Milano 🇮🇹.
I build the unglamorous machinery that makes data trustworthy: metadata-driven ETL, star-schema datamarts, incremental loads that survive 2 a.m., and the CI/CD + governance around them. Then I bring AI to production the same way — from notebook demo to a system that runs reliably, observably, and at the right cost.

|
PowerShell tool that x-rays a SQL Server / Azure SQL instance in one command — full DDL, DMVs, backup history, security audit, design-quality checks, per-table data samples. Cross-platform schedulers (Task Scheduler · SQL Agent · SSIS · cron · systemd).
|
Metadata-driven Azure Data Factory ingestion template — managed-identity auth, multi-env CI/CD (dev/staging/prod), and PR validation (JSON schema + hardcoded-secret scanning). Drop-in for any ADF estate.
