What I'm looking for

I'm seeking Data Engineering roles where I can build scalable, reliable data systems across ingestion, transformation, storage, containerised orchestration, and dashboards.

I've built end-to-end data products including VetConnect Rwanda, Mr. Cocorico’s auditable butchery POS system, and the PeaceData Portal analytics platform. My work spans data modelling, Django backends, REST APIs, PostgreSQL and MySQL architecture, deployment, and handover.

I also built a containerised Kafka, PySpark, HDFS, MySQL, and Django purchase-prediction pipeline trained on 9.4M sessions, reaching 0.828 test AUC. As an AWS Certified Solutions Architect completing an MSc in Big Data Analytics, I focus on reliable batch and real-time systems from ingestion and transformation through storage, orchestration, and dashboards.
