What I'm looking for

I'm looking to translate business requirements into data-driven insights, dashboards, and reporting solutions while collaborating with clients and cross-functional teams in Agile environments.

At IBM India, I translate client, architect, and business-leader requirements into data-driven solution roadmaps across multiple Agile engagements.

I analyze incident-ticket data with SQL, build dashboard prototypes, and connect observability and automation data to business outcomes across on-prem, cloud, SaaS, and multi-cloud environments. I also design SQL-based integrations across enterprise data sources and Kubernetes/OpenShift environments to support accurate stakeholder reporting.

My projects include Tableau analysis of multi-country depression data, Python-based social media behavior prediction, and a retail recommendation system using classification, regression, feature engineering, and cosine similarity.

I bring a Computer Science and Engineering background in Data Analytics, Tableau and IBM Cognos Analytics training, and Microsoft Azure Administrator Associate certification. I enjoy making technical concepts clear and turning raw data into practical decisions.
