Joana Paulino

I am a data enthusiast with a passion for working with complex datasets, data visualization, and reports. With over seven years of experience in SQL, data analysis, and statistical analysis, I bring a strong foundation to my work. Leveraging my engineering background, I am committed to problem-solving and driving informed decision-making by harnessing available data to its fullest potential.

Having recently completed a software development bootcamp, I can now use JavaScript and Python to enhance data analysis. These skills enable me to automate tasks, create interactive visualizations, and build custom applications, boosting both efficiency and insight.
