What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation, offers growth opportunities, and values data-driven decision-making.

I am a dynamic and results-oriented lead data engineer with a robust background in architecting data ecosystems and implementing scalable data pipelines. My extensive experience in data engineering has equipped me with the skills to drive innovation and solve complex challenges in forward-thinking organizations. Currently, I am pursuing an MSc in Computer Science with a specialization in Data Science, further enhancing my technical capabilities.

Throughout my career, I have successfully designed and built scalable data pipelines, optimized existing systems, and implemented data governance strategies. My role at BILLY GRACE as a Lead Data Engineer involves integrating various data sources using the Databricks ecosystem, while my previous position as a Senior Data Engineering Consultant at NOICE.ID allowed me to architect a comprehensive data ecosystem that significantly reduced costs for the organization. I am passionate about leveraging data to provide actionable insights and drive business success.
