Ekaterina Shirokova

I’m a Data & Business Analyst with two years of hands-on experience auditing and verifying high-volume documentation in a regulated government environment. I’m comfortable balancing compliance, operations, and reporting—reconciling discrepancies in large datasets and turning findings into recommendations stakeholders can act on.

In my role as a Senior Migration Service Inspector, I audited and verified 150–200+ migration case files and applications daily while maintaining a zero-error rate across internal quality audits. I led data quality audits across migration information systems, resolving discrepancies end-to-end and cutting recurring documentation errors by ~15%, and I built case trackers and performance dashboards in Excel for real-time management visibility.

I also served as Acting Head of Department for 2 months, managing daily operations and compliance reporting for a team of 5 while maintaining full case-processing volume. During that time, I onboarded and trained a new team member to independent performance within 1.5 weeks, and I streamlined internal document review workflows to cut processing turnaround time by 15–20%.

My background in jurisprudence shapes a structured, evidence-based problem-solving approach and strong attention to detail with high-stakes data. I complement this with technical training in SQL, Python, Excel, and Tableau (Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate), and I applied those skills in a capstone analyzing 30+ Fitbit datasets—engineering custom metrics and delivering an executive case study with actionable engagement recommendations.
