About Me
Hello, I’m Rachael—a dedicated problem-solver with a keen eye for details and a passion for finding solutions. I thrive on challenges, tackling them with determination and maintaining a focus on innovation that has driven both my personal and professional successes.
My journey began at Virginia Commonwealth University, where I immersed myself in mathematics, statistics, programming, and data analytics. This diverse educational background not only shaped my skill set but also sparked my interest in the interconnected worlds of Math, Data, and Software Development.
As a Software Engineer, I specialize in crafting resilient data pipelines and optimizing ETL processes. I find fulfillment in translating complex data into actionable insights, leveraging Python, data analysis, and ETL expertise to solve intricate problems.
A pivotal highlight in my career was conducting metadata analysis to engineer a solution in Python which enhanced pipeline performance by 16%. This accomplishment was honored with a Capital One Tech Excellence Award, showcasing my commitment to impactful work.
Outside of work, I find joy in hiking, practicing yoga, exploring the world with my fiancé, and hanging out with our beloved cat.
Let’s connect and explore how my analytical strengths and dedication could contribute value to your team. I'm committed to seeing projects through from inception to fruition, delivering impactful outcomes that resonate.
