Senior Data Engineer passionate about leveraging data for impactful decisions.
What I'm looking for
As a Senior Data Engineer, I transitioned from software engineering to focus on data-driven decision-making. My journey began with building back-end systems and APIs, but I discovered my true passion lies in harnessing data to enhance business processes. I design scalable data pipelines, implement AI systems, and create automated workflows that significantly boost productivity.
With extensive expertise in Python, Scala, and various cloud platforms, I have successfully engineered AI-driven healthcare solutions that improved operational efficiency and reduced processing times. My work has empowered clinicians with real-time access to critical data, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes. I thrive on creating robust infrastructure systems that not only meet business needs but also drive innovation and efficiency.
