What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role in a dynamic organization that values data-driven decision-making and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am an analytical and systems-driven professional with a proven track record in optimizing operations and implementing data-driven solutions. As a Mensa member, I excel in numerical analysis and structured problem-solving. At Uber, I built and led a team that resolved over 10,000 driver support tickets weekly, systematically analyzing trends and collaborating with regional and engineering teams to eliminate recurring issues through automation.

My experience at Japfa involved managing FX exposure and commodities futures trading, where I optimized procurement strategies across global time zones while working with international teams. Currently, I am studying advanced Chinese at Chongqing University, further enhancing my adaptability and capacity for rapid skill acquisition. I am eager to transition into full-time employment and contribute my expertise to an organization that values efficiency and continuous improvement.
