Education and experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or similar.

• Advanced Python (Pandas, Plotly, NumPy, SQLAlchemy).
• Experience with Streamlit, Reflex, or interactive dashboards.
• Strong working knowledge of SQL, REST APIs, and Azure cloud tools.
• Bonus: Geospatial libraries like GeoPandas, Folium, or similar.
• Comfortable with Git, VS Code, and modern coding standards.
  
  

Soft Skills

• Passion for clean, reusable, and efficient code.
• Enthusiastic about exploring data and extracting real-world value.
• Excellent communicator who thrives in a collaborative, high-impact team.
