I am an enthusiastic entry-level Data Engineer eager to grow and learn new skills while solving complex problems with industry experts. I am driven by the challenge of turning raw data into actionable insights and building scalable solutions. During a 3-month internship at SAND Technologies, I worked with eight Data Scientists as the sole Data Engineer, helping to optimize the student selection process across multiple programs by building an automated ETL pipeline that ingested applications, enrollment, and assignments data; I also assisted my peers in leveraging AWS services for model building.
