What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role where I can apply NLP and BI skills on cross-functional teams, contribute to ETL/analytics pipelines, and grow in data engineering or ML-focused projects.

I am a Natural Language Processing Engineer and Business Intelligence graduate with practical experience in data analysis, ETL monitoring, and software support.

I have delivered diagnostic IT support, routine maintenance, and system backups while recommending system improvements during an IT technician internship.

As a research and innovation team member I managed project timelines and budgets, developed packaging concepts, and led brainstorming sessions to produce market-ready designs.

I hold a BSc (Hons) in Business Intelligence and Data Analytics and an NLP certificate; I combine technical skills (Python, SQL, R) with cross-functional collaboration to drive data-informed decisions.
