DATA ENGINEER

Hi There!

Welcome to my portfolio, where I share my pet projects and personal interests! I've taken an exciting journey from hospitality management to the world of Data Engineering.

            It all began when I decided to pursue a Master's in Applied Business Analytics at Boston University. Here, I discovered the magic of data analysis, learning how to turn data into smart decisions.

            Before my data adventures, I spent 7 fantastic years in Marriott Hotels chain, in St.Regis and The Ritz Carlton hotel brands. I hopped between 3 properties, earned 6 promotions, gained unique skills like business process mapping, building service blueprint  and understanding customer behavior.

         Currently, I'm on a remote co-op adventure as a data analyst with UvU Shuttle, a Kazakhstani transportation startup. Here, I'm diving into data with Postgres, Metabase, and even helping build an Estimated Time of Arrival prediction model.

           A hidden talent of mine is creating delicious confectionery treats, turning desserts into edible art! My other interest is nature and people. I love hiking, exploring new places, and immersing myself in different cultures and cuisines.  


Skills

I have experience working with MySQL, SQL, and Postgres databases, along with programming skills in Python and R. I have also build visualization using  BI tools like Power BI, Tableau, and Metabase. Additionally, I hold a certification in Microsoft Azure Artificial Intelligence Basics (AZ-900).
