What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build and monitor data pipelines, improve data quality, and turn insights into measurable business impact—working with cross-functional teams to support product and decision-making through modern data tools.

I’m a detail-oriented data professional blending data engineering, data science, and analytics to turn complex datasets into scalable, actionable solutions. I bring hands-on experience with data ingestion, ETL processes, data quality management, and reporting that supports real business decisions.

Currently, I work as a Junior Data Engineer on the MTN SA project (Oratel (Pty) Ltd, Remote), where I support end-to-end data ingestion—from source onboarding to extraction, transformation, validation, and loading into target environments. I develop, monitor, and maintain ETL pipelines using Databricks, Trino, SQL, and Microsoft Azure, and I lead root cause analysis to resolve data quality issues with stakeholders.

Previously, I built predictive and intelligence-driven models, including a CNN to forecast policy cancellations (using Python and TensorFlow) and an LLM system to extract information from PDF documents. I also conducted EDA to identify key features, improve model performance through data-driven insights, and document research clearly for decision-making.

I also strengthen my impact through analytics visualization and collaboration. Through a Data Science learnership, I developed Power BI dashboards for project performance and user activity, cleaned and transformed datasets with SQL and Python, and delivered stakeholder-ready visual reports; and I’ve built a foundation in Agile and 4IR technologies through hands-on development and training.
