Experience

  • Data Engineer @VFD TECH

    Apr 2024 - till date | Lekki, NG

    As a data engineer, I significantly enhanced operational efficiency by refactoring production code to leverage Spark for big data processing, reducing processing time from 3 hours to just 15 minutes. I developed a containerized Streamlit application that empowered cross-functional teams to independently access needed data, decreasing reliance on the data team by 40%. I established robust documentation practices using Confluence to ensure continuity of knowledge across all data workflows and system configurations. Working closely with Finance, Product, and Audit teams, I delivered scalable data solutions utilizing Databricks, Azure Blob Storage, and Redshift. Throughout these initiatives, I maintained data integrity by implementing comprehensive validation processes that verified destination database accuracy against source data.

  • Data Engineer Trainee @Core Data Engineer

    Aug 2024 - Oct 2024 | Berlin, Germany.

    I implemented robust data orchestration solutions leveraging AWS cloud infrastructure and Docker containers, creating scalable and reproducible data engineering environments. By designing sophisticated data modeling and transformation strategies with DBT, I developed modular and maintainable data pipeline architectures that significantly enhanced both team productivity and data reliability. Additionally, I created comprehensive documentation for data operations procedures and system configurations, facilitating seamless knowledge transfer and operational continuity across teams.

  • Data Engineer(Freelance) @Upwork

    Oct 2023 - Oct 2024 | California, US.

    I partnered with a fintech startup to architect and deploy a scalable data pipeline utilizing Apache Kafka and AWS Cloud Services, enabling real-time financial data processing and analysis. For a healthcare client, I engineered a comprehensive data integration solution using Python and Apache Spark that successfully consolidated disparate data sources, substantially improving data accessibility and decision-making capabilities. Additionally, I developed customized ETL workflows for an e-commerce platform by leveraging Airflow and Redshift, which streamlined data transformation processes and delivered actionable business intelligence insights that drove strategic decision-making.

Education

  • Bachelor of Science in Computer Science

    2020-2024 | University Of Nigeria, Nsukka (UNN)

    Relevant courses included Data Structures and Algorithms, Computer Systems Engineering, and Artificial Intelligence.
