I am a Data Analytics Engineer so my role is to ingest and clean data sets to end users, modelling data in a way that empowers end users to answer their own questions. My day-to-day responsibilities are to attend standups and update my squad on what work was done the previous day and what I intend to tackle, as well as spend time working on my user stories and tasks, which often entails ensuring data gets from A to B via the best route and is in an accurate state. I also spend time upskilling and getting mentored from colleagues in the data space.

As a software developer, my daily tasks primarily involve writing and testing code. I also participate in discussions about how to address business problems and requirements through software solutions. Additionally, I spend time in squad meetings with cross-functional team members to review our progress and plan future steps.
