What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and offers opportunities for growth in data engineering and analytics.

I am a dedicated data engineer with a strong foundation in software engineering, currently pursuing my Bachelor's degree at NED University of Engineering & Technology. My journey in data engineering began with a passion for transforming raw data into actionable insights, and I have honed my skills through various projects and internships.

In my current role as a Junior Data Engineer at Traxccel, I successfully migrated a 100M+ row Spotfire report to a modern Microsoft Fabric solution, drastically reducing load times and resolving critical database issues. My freelance experience has allowed me to complete over 25 data engineering and data science projects, consistently earning a 5-star rating from clients for my technical expertise and project management skills.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my innovative solutions, including winning the Best Product Concept Award at AIchallenge.pk and achieving top ranks in departmental competitions. I am eager to leverage my skills in data engineering and analytics to contribute to impactful projects in a dynamic work environment.
