What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a data-driven environment that fosters growth and innovation, where I can apply my skills in data engineering and continue to learn from experienced professionals.

I am a recent Computing and IT graduate with a passion for data engineering, complemented by a rigorous 4-month training program at Sigma Labs. My hands-on experience includes building end-to-end ETL pipelines and developing interactive dashboards, where I collaborated in agile teams to process data effectively. I am proficient in Python and SQL, and I have successfully implemented cloud-hosted solutions using AWS and Kafka.

Throughout my academic journey, I have developed a strong analytical mindset, which I applied in various projects, including creating a transaction-level reporting system for a fictional food truck fleet and automating data collection processes. My exposure to cloud architecture design and CI/CD workflows has prepared me to contribute effectively to data-driven teams. I am eager to continue learning and growing in a professional environment, leveraging my skills to solve complex data challenges.
