What I'm looking for

I seek a data-driven role where I can apply SQL, Excel and BI to inform strategy, optimize inventory, and grow within a collaborative, product-focused team.

I am a detail-oriented, tech-savvy research analyst with 6+ years analyzing the global software market, turning large datasets into actionable insights and guiding strategic decisions. I have led and co-authored high-impact research reports, built dashboards, managed data cleaning and transformation, and presented forecasts to stakeholders.

With formal training in software testing and practical experience in QA automation, I combine strong analytical skills (SQL, Excel, Power BI) with inventory and logistics knowledge to optimize processes and support product lifecycle decisions. I thrive in cross-functional teams and deliver data-driven recommendations that improve market positioning and operational performance.
