What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters innovation and collaboration, where I can leverage my data analytics skills to drive impactful business decisions and contribute to a dynamic team.

I am an analytical and innovative data analytics specialist with over eight years of experience in leveraging data to drive business insights and optimize performance. My expertise lies in applying advanced statistical techniques and data visualization to extract valuable information from complex datasets. I have a solid understanding of business needs and have successfully collaborated with cross-functional teams to deliver data-driven solutions that have significantly contributed to increased efficiency and profitability across various industries, including telecommunications, banking, fintech, and ride-hailing.

Throughout my career, I have led the development and implementation of data analysis and business intelligence strategies, defining key performance indicators to support decision-making processes. My role as a Finance Analyst at Airtel involved spearheading the transition to an in-house Tableau server for reporting, which enhanced our data reporting capabilities. I have also developed dynamic pricing models and conducted in-depth analyses that have improved customer retention and optimized product pricing, demonstrating my ability to turn data into actionable insights.
