Welcome to my About Me repository — a personal space where I share a bit about who I am, what I’m learning, and what I’m building.

I’m a curious and driven developer who enjoys solving real-world problems through code.
My interests span data engineering, machine learning, and full-stack development, and I’m passionate about building projects that automate, optimize, or simplify everyday challenges.

Some of my current interests include:

• 🧩 Machine Learning & AI applications
• 📊 Data Engineering & Analytics
• ☁️ Cloud & DevOps tools
• 💻 Building end-to-end projects to learn by doing

Languages: Python, SQL, HTML, CSS
Frameworks & Tools: Pandas, Scikit-learn, Docker, Git, Jenkins
Other Interests: APIs, automation scripts, and LLM experimentation

Here are a few highlights of what I’ve been working on:

• ⚾ Student Athlete Scheduler App
  A full-stack web application designed to help student-athletes manage their class, training, and competition schedules efficiently.
  Built with Python (Flask) and a SQL database, featuring a clean UI and smart time-conflict detection.

• 📈 Trading Bot Prototype
  A Python-based system that uses historical stock data and technical indicators (SMA, RSI, MACD, etc.) to generate buy/sell signals with confidence scores.

• 🧾 ETL Pipeline for Retail Data
  An end-to-end data engineering project that extracts, transforms, and loads retail sales data into a structured format for analysis and reporting.

• ⚙️ DevOps Pipeline Demo
  A CI/CD setup using Jenkins and Docker to automate code builds, testing, and deployment processes.
