Orapin A.

I'm an Azure Data & AI Engineer at Sydney Water and a former Enterprise Azure Data & AI Specialist at Microsoft — combining hands-on engineering with customer-facing solution architecture across enterprise Data, AI, Analytics, and Generative AI platforms.

I design and deliver scalable data platforms, ELT pipelines, and production-grade AI on modern architecture — Azure Databricks, Delta Lake, Microsoft Fabric, and Databricks Mosaic AI. My Generative AI work spans Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), multi-agent orchestration, fine-tuned LLM workflows, Vector Search, Unity Catalog governance, and Genie Text-to-SQL.

I started in research — a JASSO-funded residency at Tohoku University, Japan and 6 peer-reviewed NLP publications — then earned two M.Sc. degrees in Computer Science: Data Science from University College Dublin on the HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn royal scholarship (two awarded per year), and NLP & Information Retrieval from KMITL. Today I'm a Microsoft Certified Trainer and a Microsoft Global Hackathon 2023 winner.
