What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build automated BI and reporting, strengthen data quality and governance, and partner with stakeholders to deliver reliable dashboards and insights that drive leadership decisions.

I’m a results-driven Data Analyst and MIS professional with 4+ years of experience building business intelligence and reporting solutions in educational and operational environments across the UAE. I use SQL, Power BI, and SSRS to turn complex data into actionable insights, with a strong focus on data profiling, source-to-target mapping, and improving data quality for reliable decision-making.

In my current and prior roles, I’ve designed ETL pipelines to extract and load academic and operational data into Microsoft SQL Server, improving accuracy by 35% and enabling faster processing. I also developed 20+ SSRS reports and Power BI dashboards for KPI tracking, automated 15+ recurring reporting workflows using SQL stored procedures (saving ~10 hours per week), and implemented data cleansing rules that improved data quality scores by 40% while supporting GDPR compliance and enterprise data governance. Beyond analytics, I’ve integrated iSAMS with third-party platforms (including Seesaw and ClassDojo), administered MIS platforms, and supported IT systems that keep reporting and data access dependable.
