Hello World, I’m Orell
Freelance software and data engineering consultant.
Who am I
I am an experienced software engineering and data engineering consultant specialized in building data-driven products at the intersection of software and data, with expertise in the Python and C++ ecosystems.
After being in academia for a while and going through the process of founding a startup, I wanted to make an immediate impact on projects and decided to become a freelancer. I have about 7 years of experience and do two things well:
- software engineering, especially in technical fields
- data engineering, especially focusing on operational data
Most of my work happens with Python and C++ and typical libraries in their ecosystems.
