What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to utilize my data analysis skills in a collaborative environment, with opportunities for growth and learning.

I am a data-focused professional with hands-on experience in data analysis, particularly in Python, SQL, and Power BI. My background combines engineering problem-solving skills with expertise in predictive modeling, data visualization, and business intelligence. I am passionate about transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive operational efficiency.

In my recent role as a Data Science Consultant at GRAVITAD, I delivered strategic recommendations for an AI-driven cloud infrastructure SaaS platform, achieving a 35% cost reduction through dynamic resource allocation. I designed a data preprocessing pipeline that reduced cleaning time by 50% and proposed a caching architecture that cut query latency by 40%. My experience also includes monitoring livestock health metrics in agriculture, where I successfully reduced illness rates by 15% through data-driven management.

As I seek an entry-level Data Analyst role, I am eager to leverage my technical skills in ETL processes, KPI reporting, and machine learning applications. I thrive in high-pressure situations and am adept at innovatively solving problems, making me a valuable asset to any team.
