a portrait of me

Profile

I am an MIT certified full stack developer with a strong background in business intelligence. Always drawn to technology I started out developing reports and analytics applications using Qlik at Volkswagen Group Logistics. This job eventually evolved into Data Engineering work in an AWS based data lake mostly with PySpark. Currently I am in Group IT SDC (Software Development Center) working on internal web applications.
