I am for hire.
Professional Profile:
Highly analytical and results-driven Data Engineer and Business Intelligence professional with over 7 years of experience in system analysis, technical execution, and iterative software development (Agile). Proven expertise in designing and maintaining scalable data pipelines, developing advanced SQL queries, and utilizing Python for data engineering and predictive analytics. Adept at acting as a technical liaison to bridge business requirements with tangible BI solutions, troubleshoot complex data issues, and quickly adapt to new technologies. Holds a Master of Science degree with a focus on Data Science, providing a strategic mindset necessary for supporting business intelligence initiatives.
Education:
Believe or not, I always wanted to go into computers and electronics. I first decided that I wanted to become an electrical engineer when I was eleven. I was building simple circuits at five. I didn’t think at the time that I could ever afford the software to write code. To my surprise, after my first electronics degree, I found out you can technically write a computer program with any text editor.

Experience:
You can’t get a job without it, but you need a job to get it. Did you know that many recruiters and contracting companies do not even consider side projects, freelancing, or even starting your own company as experience? If you are a hiring manager, you may want to make sure you aren’t missing out on great applicants.
