I'm now working in my dream role as a backend engineer, building robust APIs, designing scalable systems, and writing clean, testable Python code. My current work involves developing backend services, working with relational databases, and contributing to system architecture decisions.

Before transitioning into software development, I gained experience as a data analyst and senior leader in education, where I built dashboards in Power BI and Tableau, used Python and SQL for data manipulation, and communicated insights to a wide range of stakeholders. This foundation gives me a strong analytical edge and the ability to work closely with end users to understand their needs.

I bring a collaborative mindset, a love of problem-solving, and a commitment to continuous learning. I'm excited to keep growing in backend engineering and contribute to projects that make a real difference.
