/ABOUT
About
/CURRENTLY
Currently working through AWS's Data Engineering curriculum, and building out this portfolio as I go.
/BASED
Remote · Europe
I've always been drawn to finding patterns where others see noise. I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science at Titu Maiorescu University in Bucharest, and I specialize in the full analytics workflow — from building data extraction pipelines in Python and SQL to training predictive models with scikit-learn. I'm energized by translating complex datasets into clear, actionable insights.
