UgandaWhat I'm looking for
I am a Senior Data Engineer with over 10 years of experience in crafting scalable data platforms and optimizing data pipelines. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have architected high-performance data lakes and developed distributed data pipelines that drive analytics and financial systems. At Possible Finance, I designed a centralized Data Lake on AWS, significantly reducing query latency and enabling compliance reporting for banking partners.
Throughout my career, I have focused on implementing automated governance frameworks and optimizing data workflows to ensure reliable analytics and reporting. My work at Premise involved modernizing payment systems and enhancing data platforms for performance and security. I have successfully built secure data pipelines and achieved GDPR compliance while empowering teams with self-serve analytics tools. My passion lies in leveraging data to drive business insights and improve decision-making efficiency.
