What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build analytics dashboards and automation that improve productivity, partner with delivery teams, and translate operational data into clear, forward-looking insights for leadership.

I’m a data and automation professional with hands-on experience building Power BI dashboards, automating workflows, and using AI to turn complex information into clear, leadership-ready decisions. I recently completed an MSc in Information Systems and Digital Innovations (Merit) at Warwick Business School, where I built predictive modelling workflows using Python and SQL.

Across my work, I focus on delivery visibility and practical insights. As a Project Coordinator, I coordinated 8 concurrent digital transformation projects, accelerated release timelines by ~25%, and built/maintained 10+ dashboards and delivery trackers (including RAID logs, RAG reports, and milestone trackers) to improve stakeholder decision-making.

I also bring product and automation fluency. In my Product Intern role at Express Communications (United Kingdom), I supported LLM-based voice automation tools—gathering operational and user requirements and coordinating deployment, release progress, and risks across 3+ stakeholder groups—while continuously improving workflow execution.
