What I'm looking for

I seek a role applying fraud detection and revenue-protection analytics, with strong collaboration with operations and executives, emphasis on scalable ML pipelines and cloud-native ETL that deliver measurable financial impact.

I am a Senior Data Analyst with 4+ years delivering measurable revenue protection outcomes for regulated water utilities, combining Python and SQL engineering with business strategy to drive C-suite decisions.

I have led development of production fraud-detection systems processing 2M+ customer records and 500K+ monthly transactions, achieving 35–60% efficiency gains and recovering millions in lost billing revenue.

My technical strengths include end-to-end machine learning pipelines, cloud-native ETL architectures (AWS, GCP, Azure, Databricks), and scalable SQL optimizations that cut processing time by up to 60% while improving data quality.

I design executive-grade Power BI dashboards and automated workflows that enable real-time monitoring, prioritized investigations, and operations improvements—translating analytics into measurable cost savings and operational impact.
