Available to hire
Hello, I’m Lucinda Bufton. I design and optimize data pipelines and analytics platforms, blending oceanography training with hands-on data engineering to turn complex data into practical insights. I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver reliable data infrastructure.
When I’m not building data solutions, I love sharing knowledge with stakeholders, mentoring teammates, and exploring how data storytelling can influence decisions in health, education, and sport.
