What I'm looking for

I seek an entry- to mid-level data or analytics role where I can apply SQL, Python, and QA experience to drive product improvements, learn from cross-functional teams, and grow into BI or analytics responsibilities.

I am an entry-level Data Analyst transitioning from software QA, combining hands-on testing experience with data analysis training to improve product quality and derive actionable insights. I have applied Python, SQL, Tableau Public, and data-wrangling techniques to forecast trends and organize databases while collaborating closely with developers and product teams.

My background includes manual and automated QA across Windows, Android, and Mac platforms, building test plans, executing regression and compatibility tests, and reporting defects in Jira. I am motivated to leverage my analytical mindset and cross-platform testing experience to support data-driven decisions and enhance user experiences.
