I embarked on my journey as a software engineer in 2004, initially focusing on backend web development with PHP, HTML, and JavaScript. Over the years, I transitioned to Java, scaling up to write robust enterprise applications. My adventure in programming took a significant turn as I mastered Scala and its ecosystem, leading me to develop scalable microservice architectures. Recently, I've pivoted towards data engineering, finding a profound interest in leveraging Apache Spark, Python, Pandas, and various big data technologies. With my diverse experience and a deep-rooted passion for data engineering, I continue to explore and contribute to this ever-evolving field.
