Angela Dawn Craig

@angeladawncraig

Aspiring data engineer specializing in ETL pipelines, analytics-ready datasets, and scalable transformations.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a collaborative team where I can build ETL workflows and scalable cloud data pipelines, improve data quality, and deliver analytics-ready datasets—while continuing to grow my technical skills through curiosity-driven learning.

I’m a recent IT graduate pursuing a B.S. in Computer Science, and I focus on building ETL workflows, data pipelines, and analytics-ready datasets. I enjoy turning messy inputs into structured, usable outputs by applying strong data transformation, validation, and data quality practices.

In my data engineering projects, I designed a Bronze/Silver/Gold architecture in Databricks using PySpark, Unity Catalog, and Delta Lake, including ingestion and transformations for Census, QCEW, and broadband datasets. I standardized county-level schemas, implemented joins to improve consistency, and delivered analytics-ready Gold-layer datasets focused on economic resilience metrics and trend analysis.

I’m also hands-on with Python-based pipelines and data cleaning—like a traffic ETL project using pandas and PySpark workflows, and a JSON data cleaner that applies validation logic and modular transformation workflows. I thrive in collaborative engineering environments that value curiosity, continuous learning, and growth, and I want to keep developing as I solve complex data problems.
