This is my personal portfolio website built with React, showcasing my projects, technical skills, and professional journey as I transition from Industrial Engineering into Data Engineering.
The goal of this project is to serve as a central hub for my work, documenting my learning process, portfolio projects, and continuous growth in data engineering, analytics, automation, and software development.
As I continue building projects and expanding my technical skills, this portfolio will evolve alongside my career.

- Share my learning journey publicly
- Serve as a foundation for future portfolio iterations
Rather than acting as a static résumé, this website is designed to evolve as I gain new skills, complete more projects, and deepen my understanding of data systems and engineering practices.
AI tools were used as learning and productivity aids throughout the development process, including:
- Code refactoring
- Debugging assistance
- Logic validation
- Documentation improvements
- UI/UX content refinement
- Learning reinforcement and concept exploration
All architecture decisions, implementation work, project understanding, and final code integration were completed and reviewed by me.
AI serves as an accelerator for learning and productivity—not a replacement for technical understanding.
My current areas of study include:
- SQL and database design
- Data modeling
- ETL/ELT development
- Python for data processing
- Data warehousing
- Cloud data platforms
- Data pipeline orchestration
- Automation and workflow optimization
These topics are gradually being reflected in both my portfolio content and project work.
