My experience spans various roles where I have successfully adapted systems to meet changing business needs, ensuring the delivery of innovative solutions. I thrive in cross-functional environments, leveraging my technical skills to drive business innovation.

With a comprehensive background in cloud computing, I have developed expertise in AWS and Azure, focusing on best practices in cloud security and data management. My projects, such as the Azure Database Migration and the Multinational Retail Data Centralisation, showcase my ability to handle complex data systems and derive valuable insights for business operations. I am committed to continuous learning and have recently completed certifications in Cloud Engineering and Software Engineering.
