What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can own end-to-end data solutions—building cloud pipelines, dependable data models, and executive dashboards—by partnering with stakeholders and improving data quality through automation and governance.

I’ve led end-to-end data and analytics solutions at Health Care Authority, translating complex healthcare and policy requirements into scalable data models, cloud-based pipelines, and Power BI dashboards. I’ve standardized reusable marts for leadership reporting, built validation for data integrity, and automated recurring reports with Snowflake and Power BI to reduce manual effort by 60%.

Before that, I worked at IBM and Infosys on Azure-based ETL, KPI reporting, and machine-learning solutions—migrating raw data into dashboards (35% process efficiency improvement) and designing unified repositories that increased data access by 65%. I also supported advanced machine learning coursework as a teaching assistant, and I hold a Master of Science in Data Science from UMass Dartmouth.
