What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my data engineering skills to drive impactful projects and contribute to a forward-thinking team.

I am a results-driven Data Engineer with a strong background in building scalable data pipelines and optimizing ETL workflows. My expertise lies in utilizing Python, SQL, and Apache Spark, along with various cloud platforms, to drive data-driven decision-making. I have a proven track record of reducing data retrieval times and improving data processing speeds, which has significantly enhanced operational efficiency.

During my time as a Graduate Research Assistant at Purdue University, I engineered a real-time data pipeline that processed over 1 million sensor data points, achieving a 40% reduction in data retrieval time. My experience at Kyndryl further honed my skills in optimizing ETL pipelines and designing scalable data models, which improved query execution times by 40%. I thrive in collaborative environments, effectively translating complex data insights to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
