What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a data-focused role where I can analyze financial/business datasets end-to-end, build dashboards and risk models, and partner with teams to drive decisions through clear data storytelling and reporting.

I’m a Data Analyst focused on turning business and financial data into actionable insights. I combine statistical methods with hands-on analytics to uncover patterns that support smarter decisions, especially in risk and profitability contexts.

In my current Finance Team Lead role, I manage budgeting and financial tracking for inter-university and national-level competitions. I maintain accurate records of sponsorship inflows and expenses (PKR 300,000+), coordinate a 10-member finance team, and evaluate cost feasibility to support funding decisions.

My projects reflect how I work with real data: I analyzed 15,000+ loan records in Excel/Power Query to identify high default-risk patterns and produced a business report to improve loan approval accuracy. In R & Shiny, I built a profitability and cost analysis dashboard with scenario testing (including a marketing cut) and flagged major long-term profitability risks tied to delivery cost volatility.
