What I'm looking for

Data engineer always looking to hear from companies that emphasize innovation, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving. Flexibility, especially in remote work, matters to me—as does a culture of respect, constructive feedback, and shared responsibility for outcomes.

I am a data engineer with a strong foundation in bioinformatics and nearly three years of experience in developing robust ETL pipelines for large-scale data workflows. My analytical rigor and structured problem-solving skills enable me to design effective pipelines, enforce data quality, and support data-driven decision-making. I have a proven ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams, translating complex business needs into technical solutions.

Currently, I work at Robert Bosch S.A., where I design and build scalable ETL pipelines that deliver hundreds of gigabytes of automotive quality data. My role involves monitoring and optimizing pipeline performance and collaborating with data analysts and scientists to ensure our solutions meet business objectives. Previously, I contributed to data analytics pipelines at BNP Paribas, where I focused on data integrity and confidentiality while minimizing technical debt.

My academic background includes a Post-Graduate degree in Data Science and Advanced Studies in Bioinformatics. I have co-authored four peer-reviewed research papers and presented my research at various scientific conferences.
