Comprehensive AWS Skillset: Proficient with AWS Glue, Step Functions, SNS, Secrets Manager, IAM, and more, I ensure that data processes are both secure and scalable. Strong Analytical & Technical Acumen: Diverse Programming Skills: I’m fluent in Python, SQL, Java, and I leverage libraries such as Pandas and PySpark for data manipulation and analysis. ETL/ELT Expertise: I design, implement, and optimize pipelines that drive actionable insights. - Client-Focused Solutions Tailored Business Insights: Previously, I worked as an Inventory Analyst, where I integrated data sources like NetSuite and Excel into intuitive Tableau dashboards. My work enabled better forecasting, streamlined inventory management, and improved decision-making.
