I took the next step of my career as a data engineer at Axis group. This promotion required additional responsibilities, technologies and adjustments


Description

In April 2022 I was promoted to a data engineer at Axis Group, shedding the “associate” label. I was now saddled with increasing responsibilities and expectations. This promotion led to a period of meteoric growth, feedback and adjustments.

Responsibilities

  • Own and create data projects including but not limited to:
    • ETL
    • Data Science
    • Machine Learning modeling
  • Communicate directly with key internal and external stakeholders
  • Become an established internal resource for a variety of questions and concerns
  • Work with leadership to scope, staff and complete projects for clients

Projects

Talks

Lessons Learned

  • “Always loop in your project manager”: Project managers are quite literally employed to manage the project. They are your best asset in terms of planning and scoping responsibilities
  • Workshop communication to clients if unsure. In dealing with a particularly intense client I learned the value of projecting the right tone with certain clients. Up to that point I had succeeded without much thought to this skill; this challenge represented an evolution in my professional skills
