I seek a role that fosters collaboration and offers opportunities for growth.

I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Data Engineer with over 4 years of professional experience in designing, developing, and maintaining data pipelines and architectures.

I have advanced database knowledge, creating and optimizing SQL queries, writing and troubleshooting Python scripts, and implementing ETL processes. My role also involves setting up Power BI visualizations and developing CI/CD pipelines to enhance data accessibility and usability.
