What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an entry-level Data Engineer role to build scalable Spark/Kafka pipelines, work with cloud data platforms, and grow within a collaborative, learning-focused team.

I am a motivated Data Engineer Intern with hands-on experience designing and operating data pipelines for ingestion, transformation, and transfer. I specialize in big-data tooling such as Apache Spark and Kafka and work comfortably across databases including MongoDB, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Redis.

I have built real-time synchronization pipelines (MySQL → MongoDB/Redis) using Kafka and Spark Streaming, and developed ETL workflows with Dagster for hourly news scraping and summarization during a Grab Tech Bootcamp capstone. I led a five-person team building a backend for a clothes-swapping mobile app, designing system architecture and RESTful APIs with Go and PostgreSQL.

I bring a proactive learning mindset, practical experience with data orchestration (Airflow, Dagster), containerization (Docker), and cloud storage, and I graduated in Computer Science (Data Science) with a scholarship. I am eager to contribute technical expertise and grow within a collaborative engineering team.
