About Me

MP

I'm a certified Python developer with a passion for turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. With hands-on experience in automation scripting, data cleaning, workflow optimization, and cross-functional reporting, I'm actively transitioning into a Data Analyst role.

I hold the PCEP certification from the Python Institute and am a proud graduate of the NCLab Python Developer Program. I'm currently expanding my analytics toolkit through Breaking Into Tech and Jess Ramos analytics coursework, building toward a full-stack data analytics portfolio.

With a background spanning Tech, Sales & Marketing, and Logistics — including a role as a Project Liaison for Fortune 500 company United Parcel Service (UPS) — I bring cross-industry experience and a management perspective to every project I take on.

What drives me

Beyond the Code

🏡

Family First

Family is everything to me. Being present, supportive, and showing up for the people I love most is at the core of who I am — in life and in the way I approach my work.

🤝

Giving Back

I'm passionate about lifting others up — whether it's mentoring, sharing resources, or simply being someone others can lean on. I believe in community and paying it forward.

📈

Trading & Markets

I have a deep interest in financial markets and trading. Analyzing charts, spotting patterns, and making data-driven decisions — it's where my love of data and strategy come together outside of work.
