What I'm looking for

I seek data-engineering roles where I can build ETL pipelines, work with cloud and distributed systems, contribute to analytics products, and grow in a collaborative team focused on production-ready data solutions.

I am a data engineer in training with hands-on experience designing ETL pipelines, data modeling, and building data solutions for IoT and analytics use cases. I recently completed an MCA with a focus on Data Science and bring practical skills in SQL, Python, and distributed data technologies.

I have implemented projects such as an Air Quality Monitoring System for mines—designing pipelines to ingest and clean sensor data and enabling real-time hazard detection—and a Smartphone Replacement Prediction model that achieved 82% accuracy through feature engineering and logistic regression.

My background includes applied analytics and dashboarding in public health, teaching and mentoring students in statistical modeling, and working with tools like Hadoop, MongoDB, Spark/PySpark, Tableau, and Google Cloud. I am collaborative, detail-oriented, and focused on delivering reliable, production-ready data workflows.
