What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end systems—backend, data analytics, and automation—while learning Azure hands-on. I want a team that values mentorship, data quality, and practical use of LLMs to improve decision-making.

I’m a Systems Engineer with hands-on experience across software development (backend, mobile, and APIs), data analysis, and process automation. I build complete systems using Python, C#/.NET Core, and Flask, working with both relational and non-relational databases.

I’ve also developed forecasting and projection models that support data-driven decision-making, using Scikit-learn and Prophet. For insights delivery, I create dashboards and reports with Power BI and Tableau (and BigQuery), turning information into clear managerial signals.

In my most recent role as an IT Consultant & Technical Advisor, I led a full platform migration (an institutional Learning Management System) from one vendor to another. I owned the timeline, managed vendor coordination, oversaw data migration, maintained data quality, and provided technical mentorship to teammates.

Right now, I’m preparing for Microsoft Azure Fundamentals (AZ-900) while building practical experience in Azure, PySpark, and data modeling. I also enjoy integrating LLMs into applications through prompt engineering—always pairing new capabilities with solid engineering practices.
