What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my data engineering skills to drive impactful projects and contribute to a forward-thinking team.

I am a Data Engineer with over 6 years of experience in IT, specializing in designing and operating business-critical ETL pipelines for large enterprises in the banking and research sectors. My expertise lies in Python and PySpark, where I have successfully authored raw SQL for complex transformations and deployed scalable workloads on Databricks within AWS environments. I pride myself on being a proactive problem-solver and a team player, with a proven track record of processing over 2 million records per day, optimizing pipeline latency, and delivering actionable data products.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles, including Data Scientist and Business Analyst, where I designed and implemented end-to-end ETL pipelines, automated data ingestion, and created insightful PowerBI dashboards. My technical skills span across programming languages, machine learning, and cloud computing, allowing me to tackle complex data challenges effectively. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive business decisions and enhance operational efficiency.
