About Me

As a recent Informatics Engineering graduate, I have a strong foundation in programming and logical problem-solving.

My passion for data is backed by proven, hands-on experience in Python and SQL, demonstrated through many projects. My expertise is validated by the Data Scientist Professional and Data Analyst Professional certifications from DataCamp.

I enjoy turning raw data into meaningful stories that support decision-making, and I'm always eager to learn more. My portfolio showcases my ability to solve business problems and deliver data-driven solutions.

I'm actively seeking an internship or a junior role where I can grow as a Data Scientist, Data Analyst, Data Engineer , or any other data related role.
