As a Python Developer for four years complemented by recently obtaining a Graduate Certificate in Applied Data Science, I have developed a strong foundation in creating and optimizing data-driven solutions. This has allowed operational efficiency improvements of up to 40% and supported strategic decision-making. My proficiency in tools such as SQL, Git, Azure DevOps, VBA, and Databricks has enabled me to automate complex processes and implement advanced data programs.A key part of my role has been devising a full-cycle code testing strategy for modelling software. This leverages Python and BASH/SHELL scripting, enhancing software reliability by 30% and reducing manual testing by 20 hours, allowing for quicker deployment cycles.My shift from Metallurgy to software development demonstrates my commitment to continuous learning. I have integrated advanced data science techniques with strong programming skills. This combination has improved several software development processes. I have focused on enhancing code quality, optimising application performance, and streamlining development workflows. These efforts have resulted in more reliable and maintainable software solutions. They have also contributed to overall project success and innovation.I’m always looking to learn new things and connect with people across a range of industries, so feel free to connect via LinkedIn or contact me directly at michael.prior.linkedin@gmail.com.Proficient: Python (pandas, NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn), SQL, Databricks, ExcelKnowledgeable: R, Bash/Shell, MySQL, VBAFamiliar: HTML, CSS
