About

With a Master's degree in Computer Science from North Carolina State University, my journey at LexisNexis as a Data Engineer Intern honed my expertise in cloud technologies and data management. My core competencies lie in automating ETL processes, enhancing data accessibility, and implementing cost-effective solutions in cloud environments, specifically AWS. Our team achieved a 25% cost reduction by migrating to AWS Redshift Serverless and improved data management through comprehensive S3 bucket tagging. As a Graduate Research Assistant, I contributed to the advancement of Generative AI, fine-tuning Large Language Models like GPT-4. My approach integrates a strong problem-solving mindset with a commitment to innovation, which aligns with organizational goals and contributes to a culture of continuous improvement.
