What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can analyze large datasets, build clear dashboards and reports, and translate complex findings into actionable business recommendations for decision-makers.

I’m a B.Sc. Industrial Engineering & Management graduate (Ben-Gurion University), specializing in data analysis and business intelligence. I enjoy turning complex data into clear visualizations and decisions that help businesses move forward.

In my current role as a Data Analyst at Yifat Group, I analyze large datasets for leading business clients (including major Israeli banks), identifying trends and performance drivers. I build analytical reports and dashboards using SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, and Advanced Excel, backed by project experience like an interactive Tableau KPI dashboard and SQL/Power BI reporting for user behavior.
