Data Engineer | Expert at turning coffee ☕ and code 💻 into scalable systems for data-driven impact.
Hello, I'm Valeria Serna, a data engineer that enjoys finding structure in chaos. I'm particularly passionate about building data pipelines and systems that make data reliable, accesible, and useful for gathering meaningful insights. I currently use Python, SQL, and cloud platforms like AWS to create efficient data workflows.
My B.S. in Data Science and Applied Mathematics from Tecnológico de Monterrey gave me a strong background in statistics, data analysis, AI, cybersecurity, ML, and mathematical optimization, which allows me to approach everyday tasks and possible challenges that could arise with a unique perspective and skill set.
Besides the technical side of things, I love collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to solve problems and deliver data-driven solutions that have real impact. My experience at Enviaflores.com has taught me how to build scalable data systems in fast-paced environments while maintaining high standards of data quality and reliability.
In a more personal note, I really like reading (don't worry, you can find my most recent thoughts and reviews here!), and drinking a good cup of coffee, hobby that I have recently adopted and have found to be one of the very best parts of my day. I have not given it, yet, a dedicated part of my page so, for now, feel free to contact me and ask away because I love to talk about it!

The term 'data scientist' was coined in 2008.
Because sometimes you just need to laugh at the data science struggle.
