While I've been working for UPS, I've created ETL processes too replace the old ones. As it involved proprietary software, I got our development team involved, so we could adjust not only a data flow in a software, but also set the most appropriate setting on Virtual Servers. Our efforts resulted in improving the data processing speed more than tenfold. While old ingestion process would take a week to process ~4 million rows of data, new one would finish it in a matter of hours. In addition, we added the ability for parallel data ingestion, which further improved the process of loading data into our system. It allowed us to retain old clients and get new ones, as it's important for clients to have their Customs paperwork processed fast. Thus, we not only improved data ingestion speed, but also reduced the costs our clients would spend while waiting for Customs documentation.
I'm a self motivated person who worked in various positions. Recently I worked as a Data Engineer in a development team. I used the following tools:
  - Pentaho, SSIS for ETL;
  - Various SQL tools and languages;
  - Visual Studio for C# code review, debugging and QA.
  - Other tools (AWS/Azure dashboards, PowerBI, SSRS, Qlik, MS Office Suite, Jira, Notepad++, etc).

I've recently completed a Business Analyst course from IT Cluster Academy and acquired the following skills:
  - Stakeholder Management tools;
  - Writing User Stories, Use Cases, Acceptance Criteria;
  - Workflow and Process Diagrams.
Having a vast knowledge in IT and Customs domains, I'd like to start developing as BA. I believe it will give me better work/life balance, ability to work in various projects and meet new people
