What I'm looking for

I seek a data engineering role where I can build reliable ETL and streaming pipelines, apply my project management skills, and grow within a collaborative, analytics-driven team.

I am a data engineer with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and a strong passion for building robust ETL and streaming pipelines. I design star-schema data warehouses and automate data cleansing, validation, and monitoring to deliver reliable analytics.

My projects include a Kenya Food Price Analytics warehouse, a real-time weather streaming pipeline using Kafka and Cassandra, and automated XAU/USD ETL pipelines with TwelveData. I bring hands-on experience with Python, Pandas, SQLAlchemy, PostgreSQL, Kafka, Airflow, and a focus on error handling, observability, and maintainable code.
