Previously at AWS Fintech, I contributed to standardizing revenue metrics across services, leveraging tools like Lambda, Glue, and CloudWatch alongside a diverse programming stack. With over two years of experience in building robust financial technology solutions, I remain committed to innovation and delivering value in the fintech space. Background: I hold a Master\'s in Data Science from the University of Buffalo, where I developed expertise in statistical and machine learning models, deepening my knowledge in Python and SQL. This education has been fundamental in my current role, where data-driven decision-making is key. Early Career: My journey in tech started as a Front-End Engineer, working with HTML5, CSS3, Angular, JavaScript, and SCSS. This experience laid the groundwork for my user-centric approach in software development, which I continue to apply in creating efficient cloud-based solutions. Looking Ahead: At AWS, I\'m committed to pushing the boundaries of fintech innovation, always seeking new ways to apply my skills in cloud technology and data science to drive progress and efficiency.
