As a Analytics/BI Engineer with a background in translation, I bring a unique set of skills and experience to the fields of data engineering and visualisation. My background in translation has given me a strong attention to detail and the ability to effectively communicate complex information to a wide range of audiences, and allowed me to become a liaison between technical and non-technical stakeholders, while also exhibiting strong technical skills that I pick up quickly.
