Do you have any career gaps that I should be aware of?

Yes, I had a six‑month gap after completing my master’s degree. During that period I focused on personal development and upskilling. I completed several online courses in data engineering, including a specialization in big data technologies and a certification in AWS Data Analytics. I also worked on a personal project where I built an end‑to‑end ETL pipeline using Apache Airflow, Spark, and Snowflake to ingest, transform, and analyze large datasets. This experience helped me deepen my understanding of data workflows and cloud services. I am now fully committed to a professional role, have refreshed my technical skills, and am eager to contribute to a data engineering team. I can assure you that this gap was a productive period that has prepared me better for the challenges of the role.
