WORK EXPERIENCE
Software Engineer (Data)
Aug 2024 – Present
- Architected Python ETL pipelines and SQL dimensional models across millions of rows of operational data, enabling automated cost analysis for business reporting.
- Built pipelines on a lakehouse architecture (Apache Iceberg on ADLS Gen2, Trino) and implemented Dagster orchestration with asset-based lineage and observability across downstream pipelines.
- Set up CI/CD automation (Azure Pipelines) for ETL pipeline testing and deployment, reducing manual release effort and catching data quality issues pre-merge.
Graduate Teacher Level 2
Sep 2023 – Jun 2024
- Mentored a cross-functional team of 5 on the full software development lifecycle (SDLC), advocating for Agile, Kanban, and iterative delivery to meet aggressive project milestones.
- Mediated architectural decisions, guiding students through technical trade-off analyses to select tech stacks optimised for project constraints.
- Led code reviews with emphasis on decoupled logic and SOLID principles to ensure high maintainability.
Research Placement
Jul 2020 – Sep 2020
- Developed a Python-based stochastic simulation using the Mesa framework to model COVID-19 transmission via agent-based modelling (ABM).
- Built parametric scenarios to quantify the impact of non-pharmaceutical interventions, such as social distancing and mask mandates, on reducing the spread of infection.
- Delivered a live technical presentation of complex simulation data to 500+ concurrent viewers.
