What I'm looking for

I seek analytical roles where I can apply data cleaning, visualization and reporting skills to improve operations and support data-driven decisions in collaborative teams.

I am an Industrial Engineering student focused on turning messy data into clear, actionable insights through rigorous cleaning, standardization, and quality control.

I have applied Excel, SQL and Power BI to build dashboards and data models that inform operational recommendations and budget allocation for stakeholders.

My experience spans freelance and academic projects — from documenting reusable data normalization processes to analyzing university library datasets and managing inventory for a retail business.

I combine technical toolkit knowledge (advanced Excel, Power BI, SQL, basic Python) with business operations experience in inventory management and reporting to improve efficiency and support data-driven decisions.
