What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for professional growth in data engineering and analytics.

I am a seasoned Data Engineer with over 8 years of hands-on experience in designing, developing, and maintaining robust data pipelines and cloud infrastructure. My expertise lies in implementing ETL workflows, optimizing data storage, and leveraging machine learning to enhance business intelligence. 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. My leadership in developing predictive models using TensorFlow resulted in a 20% increase in sales conversions. I am also passionate about mentoring junior engineers, fostering a collaborative environment that encourages knowledge sharing and innovation.
