What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can support reliable data collection and cleaning, strengthen data quality, and turn results into clear insights using SQL and Python, collaborating closely with stakeholders through modern tools.

I left my homeland to pursue higher education in Europe, driven by the nagging curiosity to understand people and their behaviors through psychology and sociology.

In my current role, I work in a team that process and clean raw data collected from different large-scale studies on education across the globe. In addition, we provide support for several in-house software for researchers. Through this experience, I have had the honor to get to work with clients and researchers from all around the world. Thankfully, my background in psychology and sociology research has helped me out immensely in this unique role that requires data manipulation skills, as well as a deep understanding of socio-cultural differences of my colleagues and external partners.

Recently, I have developed an interest in the field of cybersecurity.
