Edgar Amaya
@edgaramaya
Data Analyst focused on turning detailed observations into practical, client-ready action plans.
What I'm looking for
I bring a meticulous, observation-first approach: “Noticing all the fine details makes the difference when clients need solutions.” I translate thorough observations into action plans that actually hold up in real-world conditions.
In support and analytics roles, I’ve de-escalated issues, diagnosed problems, and improved outcomes across healthcare, hospitality, finance, and IT. I update, maintain, and monitor tickets via email to troubleshoot app functionality, interfaces, promotions, and advertisements—keeping international customers moving forward.
I’ve also led teams and raised performance through coaching, quality assurance, and process improvement. From managing 30+ agents and running quality checks to ensuring compliance with HIPAA and the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, I consistently delivered above-average metrics and clear operational standards.
Beyond operations, I’m a researcher and writer developing work in genealogy research and life story writing. I’m currently studying for a Certificate in International Genealogy Research and Writing, and I publish articles listed at my site—blending analytical rigor with storytelling clarity.
