My Talks

You can check out the talks I’ve been invited to! I have always loved speaking and teaching others :>

DNA for Data: Python-Powered Bioinformatics for Solving Local Challenges

Bioinformatics is a field in data science that analyzes biological data with technology. Python is one of the key parts of bioinformatics since it is popular, has a wide library, and has a large community. This talk will also highlight the important role that bioinformatics plays in helping the country solve its challenges. Through the lens of bioinformatics tools like Biopython, scikit-bio, and more, the audience—whether they are developers, data scientists, researchers, or simply enthusiasts—will be able to gain insights and be inspired to harness these tools and participate in solving real-world problems.

Breaking Barriers in Tech

I’ve touched upon topics such as the hidden barrier of women in tech, how to practically move past these barriers, and how we can act as a community.

Looking back on my apprenticeship experience!

I did it! It’s June 18, 2022, when KadaKareer’s Virtual Apprenticeship Celebration was held. The program itself started from May 9 to June 12, 2022. I am grateful for the KadaKareer Community and its organizers, together with the partner companies of the said program. Everyone was supportive and encouraging! I even won a “Kinareer Award” from them!

dbt Journey: From Data Mess to Success

I have thought of publicizing my learning journey in order to gain more insights from people who can see my progress. Since I’m currently in the journey of studying Data Engineering concepts on the side, my first topic will be related to data–the dbt!
