What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to grow my data engineering skills while contributing to impactful projects.

I am a dedicated and detail-oriented data engineer with a strong foundation in data management and engineering principles. Having completed a comprehensive data engineering course at Explore Data Science Academy, I have developed a robust skill set in Python, SQL, and AWS services. My projects involved creating efficient data pipelines that facilitate the movement, storage, and transformation of data on a massive scale, showcasing my ability to handle complex data challenges.

In addition to my technical skills, I have experience as a private tutor, where I honed my communication and interpersonal skills by helping high school students excel in Mathematics. My passion for teaching and mentoring underprivileged students through a volunteer program further reflects my commitment to making a positive impact in my community. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a dynamic work environment where I can contribute to innovative data solutions.
