Data analyst skilled in financial datasets and energy consumption analysis.
What I'm looking for
As a dedicated Data Analyst, I have a strong background in managing and analyzing large datasets to drive informed decision-making. Currently, I work at Callan, where I ensure the accuracy and consistency of financial data, enabling analysts and clients to make sound investment choices. My role involves streamlining operations through effective Jira management and validating software developments to enhance data reliability.
Previously, I contributed to the Association for Energy Affordability, where I developed a Python-based data vetting script that automated energy consumption data visualization. This innovation not only expedited our workflow but also played a significant role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions across California. My analytical skills have been honed through various projects, including a comprehensive analysis of Spotify user data, where I identified trends that could lead to revenue growth.
