About
I am an IT professional experienced in ETL integration, developing Machine Learning models, performing statistical analysis, and generating KPI-based dashboards for data analysis.
Also, I am the Founder of a small startup Tech To Aid Inc. with a goal of supporting Alberta based local businesses with budget friendly technological support.
IT Professional & Web Developer.
I am an IT and administrative professional with over 3 years of Canadian experience, specializing in data and AI research, as well as office administration. With a strong foundation in using APIs for data collection and management, I excel in data-oriented research and cloud architecture.
With a major in computer science I completed my thesis based Master's degree from the University of Lethbridge, where I analyzed and investigated the connection among sociolinguistics features, software metrics and programming language data. My technical expertise spans Microsoft Office 365, Python, SQL, data visualization tools like Tableau and Power BI, as well as web development frameworks.
Working in different customer centric roles (Teaching Assistant, Instructor, Lecturer, Office Administrator) I gained the expertise of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical audiences, and I thrive both in team settings and independent roles. Known for my analytical problem-solving skills and adaptability, I bring a 'Can Do' spirit to every challenge. My certifications in AWS Cloud Practitioner and AWS Machine Learning Specialty further demonstrate my commitment to staying at the forefront of technological advancements.
