Data Engineer specializing in scalable data solutions and optimization.
What I'm looking for
I am a Data Engineer with a strong background in architecting and optimizing scalable data solutions. Currently, I work at HCL Technology for ABN AMRO, where I have successfully leveraged Databricks and Azure Data Factory to enhance data pipeline performance by 50% and reduce data ingestion latency by 25%. My expertise in SQL and advanced data management has allowed me to implement comprehensive strategies that significantly lower operational costs in large-scale data processing.
Previously, I served as a Software Validation Engineer at Microchip Technology, where I optimized software and hardware processes, achieving a 50% reduction in revalidation time and a 25% boost in defect detection. My leadership as a Product Owner led to a 15% increase in productivity through Agile methodologies. I also have experience in mentoring interns and engaging students in tech fields, fostering the next generation of engineers.
In addition to my professional experience, I am passionate about personal projects, including developing a Django web application for traffic management and implementing a stock price prediction model using Python. My academic background includes a Master’s degree in Computer Science from POLITEHNICA University of Bucharest, where I graduated with a GPA of 4.00/4.00.
