What I'm looking for

I seek a role in BI or data science where I can apply Power BI, SQL, and ML skills, learn on the job, and contribute to data-driven decisions in a collaborative environment.

I am a Junior Data Scientist with formal training in Business Computing & Information Systems and multiple certifications in data science, BI, and financial analysis. I bring practical experience in data annotation, model training, and business intelligence tools gained through roles at SAMA AI and PwC Academy.

At SAMA AI I delivered high-quality, well-labelled image and video datasets using bounding boxes and polygons, ensuring accuracy and timeliness to improve AI model performance. As a Power BI Business Intelligence Intern at PwC Academy, I transformed data into insights, built reports and dashboards, and gained hands-on experience with DAX, Power BI Desktop/Service, Python and SQL.

I am motivated to apply data science and analytics to drive data-driven decision-making, continuously develop technical skills, and contribute to impactful projects that leverage AI and BI for better business outcomes.
