My career began with a focus on Python, because it is the leading language for artificial intelligence and data science. Along the way, I discovered its versatility and applied it to a wide range of projects, like developing mobile applications with Kivy, automating workflows with Selenium, creating websites with Flask and Django, and building APIs with FastAPI. Over time, my work expanded into data engineering, where I have designed and implemented ETL pipelines using Amazon Web Services (AWS), Python, and Apache Spark (PySpark) to process, transform, and deliver data for analytics and business insights. Beyond work, I hold close the words of Gandhi: “Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it.”
