About me

As a professional with strong problem-solving skills, I am always thinking about optimising and automating processes, while lifting weights, reading a book, watching a comedy, or drinking a good cup of coffee (definitely a passion of mine!), I'll come up with a better alternative and then rush to my computer to see it work.

My name is Monica Escobar. I’m a passionate Engineer with a deep interest in Data Cloud and a talent for breaking down complex terms into easy-to-follow steps (if you cannot explain it to your grandmother, then you don’t know it well enough!). Along with problem-solving and communicating complex terminology, I have Enterprise experience in the Banking Sector, a good understanding of Linux and (as my certifications section can prove further down) deeply committed to remaining up to date with all new technologies.
