What I'm looking for

I seek immediate remote roles (US/UK time zones) where I can apply SQL, Power BI, and financial modelling to deliver executive-level insights and scalable dashboards.

I am a detail-oriented Data Analyst with a foundation in Business Administration and hands-on experience transforming complex datasets into actionable insights.

I have built scenario-based financial models and quantified $13–22M in synergy potential for an aviation M&A simulation, analysed large-scale transactions, and produced executive-ready deliverables for PwC and Tata Group simulations.

My technical toolkit includes SQL, Power BI, advanced Excel (including VBA), Python, DAX, and ETL pipeline experience; I have orchestrated pipelines for 500,000+ records and ensured 100% financial reporting accuracy in simulations.

I communicate findings through dashboards, DAX measures, and concise executive summaries, and I am open to immediate remote engagement across US and UK time zones.
