What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a data analyst, data engineer, or BI role with remote or Gulf-based options. I want to work on full data lifecycle pipelines, meaningful dashboards/insights, and cloud-based workflows with strong client-collaboration.

I’m a data professional and software engineer with an MSc in Data Engineering and Information Management, completed in the minimum duration of 1.5 years, with CGPA 3.91/4.0. I bring hands-on experience across the full data lifecycle, staying grounded in strong fundamentals like data pipelines, ETL processes, and database management.

I’m proficient in Python and SQL, with practical strengths in Pandas, NumPy, ETL, and relational database design. I’ve built projects like an Expense Tracker (SQLite with full CRUD, SQL analytics, and Matplotlib visualizations), and a Job Market Analyzer (CSV ingestion to cleaning, SQLite storage, SQL trend analysis, and clear charts for non-technical audiences).

I also develop production-minded web solutions, including a Weather Web App using Flask and the OpenWeather REST API, with JSON parsing, error handling, and structured templates. Alongside the technical work, my remote project coordination experience sharpened my client communication, requirement gathering, expectation setting, and independent delivery—so I can collaborate effectively across time zones while delivering quality outcomes.
