Data Engineer for NHS England and NHS Improvement. My journey working with data started from covering a computer science lesson on python in 2018 at a High School. This started an interest into programming. This lead to developing my tech skills and changing career path working in the data department at the same High School. Less than three years later I joined NHS England and NHS Improvement working as a Analytical Support Officer. From September 2024 I successfully got promoted as a Data Engineer. I am very fortunate to be working for a fantastic organisation that is committed to improving lives.Technological background:Author of R packagesconsolechoicehttps://CRAN.R-project.org/package=consolechoicewrapprhttps://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/wrappr/index.htmlAdvanced skills using Python, TypeScript, R and SQL.
