At North Seattle College

My name is Alex Torres. I am from Colombia. I've been honing my skills through a combination of hands-on experience and structured learning. Currently pursuing an Associate Degree in Application Development at North Seattle College, alongside certifications in Data Science and Data Engineering, I've delved deep into various aspects of technology. My professional journey has been enriched by roles such as a Data Engineer Intern at NYC School Bus Umbrella Services, where I tackled Flask APIs and ETL pipelines, and as a Data Engineer Fellow at Jigsaw Labs, where I immersed myself in data engineering tasks. Recognized for my commitment to excellence and adaptability, my extended internship at DukeAI underscored my ability to excel in data extraction, further fueling my passion for the field.

Interests

I'm passionate about the intersection of technology and social impact. Specifically, I'm drawn to the idea of specializing as a data engineer to support government or non-profit organizations. I believe that by harnessing the power of data, we can drive positive change and address societal challenges more effectively. Whether it's optimizing resource allocation, improving service delivery, or enhancing transparency, I'm eager to contribute my skills to projects that make a meaningful difference in people's lives.
