What I'm looking for

I seek a senior BI/data role where I can build scalable dashboards, automate ETL, enforce data governance, and mentor users in a collaborative, compliance-focused environment.

I am a senior Data Analyst and Business Intelligence professional with over seven years of experience building dashboards, ETL pipelines, and data models to enable data-driven decisions. I specialize in Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Python, and cloud platforms to deliver scalable analytics solutions.

At Sandy Spring Bank I designed interactive dashboards and built automated ETL pipelines (AWS S3, Glue, Athena) that reduced report processing time by 30% and trained 50+ business users on Power BI self-service analytics. I have a track record of optimizing SQL across Oracle and Snowflake, implementing CI/CD for reporting, and improving data quality and governance in regulated environments.

I bring a collaborative, compliance-focused approach—working closely with stakeholders to translate requirements into reliable BI solutions, streamline reporting processes, and monitor data quality to support measurable business outcomes.
