Manufacturing data / production systems

Mayhar Jabbo

Senior Data Engineer / Data Platform Engineer

I build production data systems for manufacturing — from MES and ERP sources through Databricks and Spark pipelines to analytics models, APIs, and applications used on the floor.

My specialty is the hard middle: reverse-engineering undocumented platforms, replacing brittle manual processes, and carrying solutions from architecture through production support.

Open toSeeking remote-first senior data engineering and data platform roles; open to occasional in-office work in Metro Detroit.

Impact

Outcomes, not responsibilities.

Four examples of measurable change: faster pipelines, reusable integrations, resilient operations, and ownership beyond launch.

Hoursbecomesunder one minute

Cut critical Spark ingestion from hours to under one minute by redesigning transformations, partitioning, incremental loads, and orchestration.

One-off pipelinesbecomesconfiguration-driven onboarding

Built one reusable ingestion framework where connections, source tables, transformations, load behavior, and destinations are controlled through metadata.

Vendor outagebecomesproduction continuity

Delivered a live MES dashboard that kept the injection molding floor operating with current machine and job information during an extended vendor-system outage.

Siloed layersbecomesend-to-end ownership

Own the full path from MES and ERP through SQL, Spark, Databricks, APIs, Power BI semantic models, and production applications.

Full resume

Experience

Built from the infrastructure up.

Thirteen years with one manufacturer: enterprise support, automation and technical leadership, then data engineering and platform ownership. That foundation makes the infrastructure around a pipeline as familiar as the code inside it.

Background and how I engineer

Projects

Systems that had to keep working after I shipped them.

Production work across operational applications, data platforms, systems integration, and analytics. Each case study focuses on the architecture, trade-offs, and hardest engineering decision.

Live production dashboard

2026In production
Problem
When the vendor MES front end became unavailable, the floor still needed current machine state, job details, and access to production history.
Result
A reliable floor-wide production view with audited scrap and downtime corrections through the vendor's supported procedures.
  • Node.js
  • Express
  • JavaScript
  • SQL Server
  • Mattec ProHelp MES

Databricks data platform

2021 — presentIn production
Problem
Each new source required a bespoke pipeline, increasing onboarding time and leaving every implementation to evolve differently.
Result
New sources are onboarded through configuration, and critical ingestion that once took hours completes in under a minute.
  • Python
  • SQL
  • Spark SQL
  • Apache Spark
  • Azure Databricks
  • Delta Lake
  • ADLS Gen2
  • Azure DevOps
  • Git

ERP to Microsoft 365

2026In production
Problem
SharePoint processes needed current ERP vendors, tooling, buyers, and requisitioners without re-keying data or maintaining a second source of truth.
Result
Reference data stays current without re-keying, and a new dataset is a configuration block plus a query file.
  • .NET 8
  • C#
  • Db2 for i
  • IBM i
  • ODBC
  • Microsoft Graph
  • SharePoint Online
  • JSON configuration

Problem
Maintenance, safety, and HR teams relied on specific operational layouts that no combination of native visuals and DAX could reproduce.
Result
Four visuals in use in production reports, maintained as report requirements change.
  • TypeScript
  • Power BI Visuals SDK
  • pbiviz
  • DAX
  • Power BI
  • Microsoft Fabric

Let's talk about the work.

Email reaches me directly. I’m glad to discuss any of these systems in more depth than a written case study allows.
