Software engineering

With 4 years of industry experience, I've utilised top software technologies to develop many digital products. Committed to continuous learning, I've taken part in external training courses to familiarise myself with new technologies with the intent to upskilling myself and strengthening my knowledge.

I recently read 'Hello World' by Hannah Fry. 📚

data engineering

While working as a software engineer, I’ve collaborated closely with data analysts and engineers to design and support data-driven systems that power product and business decisions. Through this work, I developed a strong interest in data engineering and its role in building reliable, scalable platforms.

I’ve since had hands-on experience designing and working with data pipelines, data models, and supporting infrastructure, with a focus on data quality, maintainability, and scalability. I’m comfortable navigating the evolving data engineering landscape and understand how well-structured data systems enable meaningful insights across teams.

Working across disciplines has strengthened my approach as an engineer overall. Understanding upstream and downstream data workflows allows me to build more thoughtful solutions, align technical decisions with business needs, and contribute effectively to cross-functional teams.

I am currently reading 'Lying Numbers' by Hugh Barker. 📚
