What I'm looking for

I am seeking Data Engineer or Data Analyst roles in India where I can build scalable ETL workflows, improve data quality, and deliver analytics that inform business decisions in collaborative, growth-oriented teams.

I am a data professional with over two years of full-time industry experience as a Data Engineer and nearly three years of hands-on experience including research and volunteer roles. I specialize in Python, SQL/PL-SQL, ETL pipeline development, data validation, and analytics, and I have applied these skills to large-scale enterprise systems, research projects, and nonprofit initiatives.

I have built and deployed end-to-end data workflows (Airflow, AWS EC2), developed ML models for admission prediction and sentiment analysis, and implemented computer-vision solutions with TensorFlow and OpenCV. I am collaborative, results-driven, and focused on improving data accuracy, reliability, and actionable insights for stakeholders.
