Hola! I'm Ana Luisa Zepeda de Alba, originally from the charming city of Querétaro in Mexico. I'm a tech-savvy individual with a deep passion for animals and data. With a Bachelor's degree in Zoology and Ecology from James Cook University in Australia and an Honours degree in Zoology from the University of Tasmania, I have developed a strong analytical mindset.
Currently, I’m focused on expanding my expertise in data engineering and data analysis. I work extensively with SQL, Python, Apache Spark and Power BI to design data pipelines, clean and analyze datasets, and create visualizations that drive impactful insights. My experience allows me to bridge the gap between technical implementation and data interpretation, empowering organizations to make data-driven decisions. I’m excited about leveraging my skills to make a meaningful impact in the field!
Work
Driven by a passion for data analysis and conservation, I am a results-oriented Data Engineer and Analyst with a solid foundation in leveraging advanced data engineering tools and programming languages. My key skills include building scalable ETL/ELT workflows, optimizing data integration, and employing tools like Azure Data Factory, Databricks, SQL Server, and Snowflake to streamline data processes. As a Freelance Data Engineer, I develop batch data pipelines using Azure Data Factory, orchestrate data extraction from various sources, and store raw data in Azure Blob Storage. I also utilize Databricks with Apache Spark for data transformation and cleansing, ensuring efficient access to data for analytics.
In my previous role at Notaria 16, I developed automated workflows with Power Automate and designed layered ETL pipelines that ensured high data quality and consistency for informed decision-making. Additionally, I created interactive Power BI dashboards that provided real-time visibility for stakeholders. As a Senior Data Engineer/Data Analyst at Nielsen, I automated workflows through robust data pipelines, optimizing data handling using Python and SQL while ensuring adherence to quality standards and timelines.
Complementing my practical expertise, I have a strong academic background with an Honours in Zoology from the University of Tasmania and a Bachelor of Science in Zoology & Ecology (Advanced) from James Cook University. I am committed to leveraging my data engineering and analysis skills to drive impactful decision-making and contribute positively to conservation efforts while excelling in the dynamic field of data analytics.
With a proven record of effective leadership and a deep commitment to community engagement, I have had the privilege of serving in various impactful roles. As the General Coordinator of GECEQ Group, I skillfully managed and supervised association members, successfully executing projects and workshops that enriched scientific education and language skills. Additionally, my international volunteer experiences, including turtle surveys and data collation in Australia's "Rivers to Reef to Turtle project," and my role as President of the Latin American Society in Queensland underscore my dedication to fostering cross-cultural connections and driving collaborative initiatives. Furthermore, I actively contribute to wildlife conservation efforts as a volunteer at "North Queensland WildlifeCare, A.C," where I provide care for orphaned flying foxes and participate in donation collection activities.
