I also assemble ETL workflows from REST APIs, SQL Server, spreadsheets, and CSV files. For my Sales Analytics capstone, I studied more than $50M of simulated revenue to examine product sales, customer behavior, and revenue trends. I also produced an HR analytics dashboard for attrition, workforce changes, and diversity. Previously, at Cottonwood Financial, I analyzed loan, sales, customer, and financial data and built dashboards and reports for management. Before moving into data work, I ran Sales, Marketing, and Operations at KAD Construction PLC, where I introduced KPI frameworks and Excel reporting and cut operating spending 20% through data-backed process changes. ``` ## Experience ### Power BI Developer / Data Analyst (current) Colaberry.
