First and foremost, I'm a continuous learner who thrives on critical thinking and problem solving. While I may not be a "scientist" in the traditional sense, my enthusiasm for science profoundly shapes my approach to the world, as well as to the challenges and learning opportunities I encounter.

I began my career as an Electrical Engineer, where I developed Python scripts for hardware testing, which significantly enhanced efficiency and productivity. I also discovered my passion for data and the insights it can provide. This led me to transition towards Data Science | Data Analytics | Automation with Python.

One of my most rewarding experiences was at the Space Telescope Science Institute where I automated data ingestion for Hubble Telescope data files. This project allowed me to fully utilize and further develop my technical skills in a meaningful and impactful way.

Outside of work, I immerse myself in the worlds of science fiction and fantasy, genres that are not only a source of entertainment but a great source of inspiration and creativity.

I am also a passionate player of Dungeons & Dragons. I enjoy collaborative storytelling and take particular joy in strategically playing my character to its fullest potential.

In addition, I have a deep appreciation for fine dining, always eager to explore new cuisines and flavors. I also find solace in gardening, which not only connects me with nature but also creates an urban refuge for bees, butterflies, birds, raccoons, and most recently, rabbits.
