What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth in machine learning and data science.

I am a dedicated software engineer with a strong passion for developing innovative software solutions and integrating technology into everyday life. My journey in computer science began at the University of Illinois at Chicago, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. Since then, I have honed my skills in various programming languages and data engineering tools, allowing me to contribute effectively to projects that drive business success.

Currently, I work at Target as an Engineer Front of Stores, where I develop enhancements for Scala pipelines that provide critical data to business users. My experience includes working with a wide array of data engineering tools such as Hive SQL, Python, and Jupyter notebooks. I take pride in creating automated data quality checks and managing large datasets to meet the needs of business users. My previous roles have equipped me with a solid foundation in data analytics and software development, enabling me to collaborate effectively with teams and deliver impactful results.
