About Me

I'm Nael, a Data Analytics Engineer who turns complex data into clear, reliable insights. My work focuses on building automated, validated data systems that empower better decisions across teams.

My path into data was not traditional. I started my career as a Mechatronics Engineer and worked as a Site Electrical Engineerin Dubai, After facing career uncertainty, I explored web development during the COVID lockdown and discovered my passion for data. Through self-learning, experimentation, and continuous growth, I transitioned into analytics and data engineering.

At Correlation One, I served as Head Teaching Assistant for a USAID-funded program that trained 1,200+ learners across the MENA region. This experience strengthened my belief in sharing knowledge and using technology to create meaningful impact.

Today, as a full-time Data Analytics Engineer at Opensooq, I build scalable data solutions, automate workflows, and focus on making analytics more reliable and actionable.

I hold the MIT MicroMasters in Statistics and Data Science and the AWS Certified Data Engineer - Associate certification, strengthening my foundation in analytics, automation, and cloud-based data engineering.

Beyond my professional role, I enjoy building public data products and sharing practical resources. My latest project, PyPIMap, is an interactive platform for exploring the Python package ecosystem through data-driven insights and automated daily updates.

I share practical insights and lessons learned through my Articles and I'm always open to meaningful conversations around data, learning, and impact. Feel free to reach out via the Contact page.
