"Data is like coffee—unprocessed, it’s just a bean. My job? Brewing it into something that keeps your business running!"

About Me

As a passionate and results-driven Data Engineer with 2 years of experience, I specialize in designing and implementing robust data solutions, focusing on Power BI, Power Query, Google Cloud Platform, and Apache Airflow. My proficiency in SQL and experience with Python empower me to efficiently transform complex datasets into actionable insights, enabling businesses to make informed, data-driven decisions.

Before transitioning to Data Engineering, I spent 2 years as an SAP Consultant, developing expertise in ERP systems, process optimization, and integrating technology into business workflows. This unique combination of skills allows me to bridge the gap between technical infrastructure and business operations, ensuring that data solutions align with strategic goals.

Additionally, I have a solid background as a Data Analyst, responsible for SAP B1 administration, creating SQL queries, and generating key reports that guide business decisions.

My ability to adapt and thrive in fast-paced environments, combined with my fluency in German and English, enhances my effectiveness in collaborating with international, multilingual teams.

Let’s connect to discuss how we can collaborate to drive innovation and unlock the full potential of data.
