What I'm looking for

I am seeking a BI/Data role where I can apply Power BI, ETL and cloud skills, automate reporting, and grow within a data-driven, collaborative team.

I am a Project Control Engineer with 4+ years in large-scale industrial projects, currently transitioning into Data Analytics and Business Intelligence. I focus on turning data into actionable insights using Power BI, ETL tools, and cloud-based data workflows.

I have automated daily reporting workflows using Power Query and Power Automate, reducing reporting time by 80%, and created dynamic Power BI dashboards to support executive decisions on resource allocation and project progress. I routinely perform ETL operations for large datasets using Azure Data Factory and Kafka and build repeatable data pipelines with SQL, MySQL, and Azure SQL Server.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from Middle East Technical University and have completed multiple Power BI and Azure Data Factory courses and certifications. I am seeking opportunities to apply my BI, ETL and analytics skills in environments that value automation, data-driven decision making, and continuous learning.
