One of my key achievements was successfully migrating our scraping infrastructure to Google Compute Engine, which significantly improved data collection reliability and optimized job execution. I also introduced CI/CD processes using GitLab CI, enhancing code quality and reducing errors.

Additionally, I led the Data and Analytics department, where I implemented QA processes to ensure data accuracy and defined key performance indicators (KPIs) to track departmental success.
