I excel at translating complex requirements into scalable technical solutions that drive decision-making and improve business outcomes.
At Learnly Africa, I designed and optimized ETL pipelines using Apache Airflow and DBT, achieving a remarkable 35% reduction in execution time. I successfully migrated our data infrastructure from on-prem Teradata to AWS Redshift, which significantly improved scalability and query performance.
