What I'm looking for

I seek a collaborative, Agile team where I can build scalable BI solutions, lead data modeling and ETL work, apply predictive analytics, and grow into senior analytics or engineering roles.

I am an analytical, results-driven Business Data Analyst with nearly four years of experience in data analytics, business intelligence, and cloud-based reporting solutions. I translate business requirements into actionable insights using Power BI, Snowflake, Azure Synapse, SQL Server and Python to deliver KPI frameworks, predictive analytics, and automated ETL pipelines that improve operational visibility and drive cost optimization.

I collaborate closely with cross-functional teams in Agile environments to design scalable data models, implement data governance, and deploy interactive dashboards and self-service analytics. My background includes end-to-end BI delivery, ETL development with Azure Data Factory and SSIS, and leveraging AI/automation tools to enhance reporting efficiency and enable data-driven decision making.
