About

I’m a Master’s student in Business Analytics & AI at UT Dallas with 3+ years of experience as a Data Engineer, working on real-world analytics and data driven solutions in cloud environments. Most of my experience is around SQL, Python, Power BI, Databricks, and Azure, where I’ve built ELT pipelines, data marts, and dashboards that teams actually use to make decisions. At MAQ Software, I worked on data modeling, performance optimization, deployments, and data quality, often in fast-paced, agile projects. I’m genuinely curious about AI and enjoy experimenting with prompt engineering, and new tools that improve how we work with data. I like exploring emerging technologies, understanding how they fit into real use cases, and applying them in practical ways rather than just theory. I have a strong computer science background, pick up new technologies quickly, and enjoy solving complex problems. I’m currently looking for Internships in Data Analytics, Business Analytics, Data Science, Machine Learning, or Data Engineering roles where I can keep learning and contribute to meaningful, data-driven work. #BusinessAnalytics #DataAnalytics #DataScience #DataEngineering #AI
