Marlon Funes
@marlonfunes
Data analyst specializing in SQL, data mining, and visualization, delivering compliant insights that improve financial and healthcare decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m an experienced data analyst specializing in data mining, SQL queries, and data visualization. My focus is turning complex, messy data into actionable insights that help leadership make better decisions.
I bring “Expert SQL experience for 27 years,” using DDL and DML to maintain reliable datasets and troubleshoot issues quickly. I’ve strengthened data quality by resolving discrepancies across healthcare reporting workflows, financial systems, and insurance data management.
I’ve repeatedly automated reporting to reduce manual effort and improve accuracy—most notably by “reducing manual effort by 30%” while enhancing efficiency. I build dashboards and executive-ready reporting in Tableau and Power BI, and I integrate planning tools like Workday Adaptive Planning to streamline budgeting and forecasting.
Across healthcare and financial domains, I’ve supported compliance and secure data transmission, including “HIPAA Compliance” and state/federal regulatory requirements. From improved actuarial reserve calculations and premium forecasting to ELR processing using HL7/CSV and stakeholder training, I bring a practical, results-driven approach grounded in leadership and mentoring.
