What I'm looking for

I seek a data/BI role where I can build Power BI solutions, optimize data models, and drive operational improvements within a collaborative, growth-focused team.

I am a data-focused analyst specializing in Power BI and SQL, currently working as a Power BI Analyst while pursuing a BSc in Management Sciences. I translate business needs into clear, actionable dashboards and models.

I have revamped company-wide Marketing and P&L dashboards, reduced Power BI query times by 2–3 seconds through better schema design, and used Tabular Editor to optimize semantic models. I built an Export Facilitation Reconciliation Tracker, a Power Apps shipment automation that cut processing from 5–7 days to 1 day, and contributed to a VR-enabled Control Tower to visualize national operations.

I combine technical chops—Power BI Service, Tabular Editor, SQL, data modeling—and practical business impact, such as a 15% monthly inventory cost reduction. I hold certifications in Data Modeling in Power BI and SQL for Data Science and I am eager to drive measurable improvements through data-driven solutions.
