Data Engineer

Kenia graduated in May 2024 from the University of Houston with a Bachelor of Science, double majoring in Computer Engineering Technology and Computer Science. During college, she participated in a Hackathon, placed first by building a Resource Kiosk, and worked on various projects, including designing a video game and developing websites. These experiences strengthened her skills in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

After graduation, Kenia worked as a Data Engineer for a school district’s soccer league, where she developed a website from scratch to manage player registrations. Her background in web development, data management, and engineering makes her well-suited for creating systems that handle complex data sets in her role as a Data Engineer.

In her spare time, Kenia enjoys staying active by going to the gym, working out, doing cardio, and trying to eat as clean as possible. She loves spending time with her family, especially her cat, who holds a special place in her life. Kenia also has a background in sports and enjoys staying connected to physical activities. When she has free time, she likes working on puzzles and traveling.

As the daughter of Salvadoran parents, Kenia’s favorite vacation destination is El Salvador, where she enjoys being surrounded by nature and reconnecting with her family heritage.
