@remibraithwaite
Proactive data engineer with a passion for impactful data solutions.
What I'm looking for
I am a proactive candidate seeking a role in the tech space, having completed intensive training in data engineering. My journey began with the Data & SQL Kickstart and continued through a 12-week bootcamp where I honed my skills in Python, SQL, Docker, and database management. I developed a CLI-based order management system for a pop-up cafe, ensuring data persistence and engineered a Docker-based ETL pipeline to clean and load complex transaction data into a MySQL database.
My experience includes developing local data warehousing solutions and creating logical data models to support seamless analytics. I thrive in collaborative environments that value continuous learning and innovative problem-solving. I am eager to leverage my skills to drive impactful, data-driven solutions that enhance operational efficiency and foster growth.
