What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and continuous learning.

I am a seasoned Business/Data Analyst with over 7 years of experience, specializing in the fintech sector, particularly in payments. My journey has equipped me with a unique blend of technical expertise and business acumen, allowing me to effectively bridge the gap between software development teams and business objectives. I have a strong proficiency in Python and SQL, and I possess a deep understanding of blockchain data.

Throughout my career, I have successfully driven data strategies and enhanced system performance visibility in various roles. My recent position as a Technical Business Analyst involved overseeing observability services within distributed architectures, where I implemented monitoring solutions that significantly improved operational efficiency and reduced costs by over $100,000. I am passionate about leveraging data to inform decision-making and optimize processes, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute to innovative solutions.

In addition to my analytical skills, I am also an artist and founder of Iliana Paliari Contemporary Art, where I integrate my creative vision with technical capabilities. I am currently focused on generative AI art and continuously seek to expand my knowledge and skills in both data analysis and artistic expression.
