What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level Data Engineer role where I can build and maintain Python/SQL data pipelines (ETL/ELT) on modern platforms, deliver reliable reporting, and grow my Power BI data visualization and analytics skills.

I’m an Entry-level Data Engineer with a Diploma in Information Communication Technology and a Microsoft Certified: Fabric Data Engineer Associate certification. I bring hands-on experience using Python and SQL for data processing and transformation, along with strong IT support and system troubleshooting.

I’ve built and supported data-driven solutions through freelance development work and projects involving database design, data tracking, and ETL/ELT concepts. I’m currently pursuing a Power BI certification (in progress) to strengthen data visualization and analytics capabilities, and I’m eager to contribute dependable pipelines and modern reporting that help stakeholders make better decisions.
