What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable ETL/ELT pipelines and dimensional models, automate reporting, and validate data quality—collaborating with stakeholders in an Agile team to continuously improve decisions and processes.

I’m a data professional with over six years’ experience across Data Engineering, Data Analytics, Business Intelligence, Business Analysis, and Agile delivery. I use SQL, Python, Databricks, and Power BI to automate reporting, strengthen data validation, and turn stakeholder needs into scalable data solutions.

Right now, I’m expanding my practical Data Engineering expertise in a project-based programme—building end-to-end data pipelines, ETL/ELT processes, and dimensional data models for an e-commerce platform. Previously, as a Scrum Master and analyst, I improved team visibility by designing automated Power BI dashboards and using Jira delivery insights to drive continuous process improvement, while currently completing a Master’s in Data Science and Machine Learning.
