My proficiency in SQL, Python, and various data visualization tools such as Tableau and Power BI has enabled me to create impactful reports and dashboards that support business analysis and decision-making. I am passionate about fostering cross-team collaboration and have successfully led initiatives that enhance data accuracy and availability for real-time reporting.
