What I'm looking for

I seek data-driven roles where I can apply actuarial techniques and advanced analytics to solve business problems, build production-ready models, and communicate impact.

I am an actuarial and data analytics professional with 4+ years of experience in statistical modeling, predictive analytics, and reporting across finance, health, and transportation sectors.

I build production-ready analyses and visualizations using Python, R, SQL, Excel, Power BI, and Tableau, and apply actuarial techniques for risk assessment, financial modeling, and forecasting. I have delivered ML/DL models, interactive dashboards, and automated reports that drove measurable cost savings and revenue growth.

I collaborate closely with stakeholders to translate data into strategic decisions, prioritize clarity in communication, and consistently produce high-quality, publication-ready deliverables.
