What I'm looking for

I’m aiming to transition into a full-time Data Engineering role focused on building scalable and data-driven solutions.

At Turing, I build and support scalable Python backend services and RESTful APIs, and review AI-generated code for correctness, security, and readability. I also create coding challenges and automated test suites to assess code quality.

At Telus InternationalAI, I evaluate multi-turn AI conversations for factuality, personalization, and consistency. I’ve also tested Android apps and firmware at Transsion, and built web projects including Water Vending, which integrates M-Pesa payments.
