What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an automation or data engineering role where I can ship reliable pipelines and scalable AWS architectures—especially work involving real-time data, clean system design, and measurable performance improvements.

I’m an automation-focused developer who builds end-to-end data pipelines, real-time applications, and internal tools that replace manual workflows with reliable, maintainable software. My approach blends clean architecture with practical problem-solving to turn complex data into usable products.

Most recently, I worked as an Automation Engineer (Contract) building an automated reporting pipeline that reduced report generation from ~45 minutes to ~30 seconds. I developed a Selenium/Chrome web scraper, containerized it with Docker, deployed it on AWS ECS Fargate, and provisioned supporting services with Terraform (Lambda, API Gateway, S3, Secrets Manager). I also designed an asynchronous job architecture and set up GitHub Actions CI/CD for Docker builds, Lambda deploys, and frontend publishing.

Earlier, I supported computational biology work by developing Python-based RNA-sequence analysis pipelines from raw sequencing data through differential expression and functional annotation (including DESeq2 workflows). I’ve also built real-time market data pipeline concepts with statistical modeling and visualization using JavaScript/CSS, and I’m actively developing an Unreal Engine 5 (C++) strategy game with procedural planet generation and multi-faction AI.
