About me

Who I am & what drives me

I'm Kavya Basappa, a Master's student in Data Engineering & Cloud Computing at Aivancity Paris. My journey began in Bengaluru where I spent 3+ years as a Data Quality Analyst — building the discipline to trust data, not just collect it.

I moved to Paris with a clear goal: to work at the intersection of modern data infrastructure and AI. Since then I've built real-time Kafka streaming pipelines, LLM-powered grading tools, and voice-driven infrastructure compilers — solving real problems, not tutorials.

"I don't just process data — I design systems that make data worth acting on."

I speak English (B2) and am learning French (A1), committed to integrating into the French tech ecosystem and contributing to cross-cultural, ambitious teams.

Soft skills in action

🤝
Team Collaboration
Coordinated cross-functional QC workflows across teams of 10+, aligning goals and delivery timelines.
⚡
Critical Thinking
Diagnosed root causes of data anomalies under deadline pressure — reducing errors by 25%.
🧭
Leadership
Led AI Clinic project delivery — defined scope, split tasks, shipped the LLM grader on time.
🎯
Problem Solving
Turned open-ended briefs (voice → Docker, speech → infra) into working software through structured decomposition.
📋
Adaptability
Relocated from India to France, learned a new language, and pivoted to data engineering in <18 months.
🗂️
Time Management
Handled 10K+ records weekly with parallel QC checks — zero missed delivery windows over 3 years.
