What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic work environment that fosters growth and innovation.

I am a dedicated data scientist and analyst with a strong foundation in banking and finance. My journey began with a Bachelor of Commerce, and I have since pursued various certifications in data science, including programs from IBM and Dataquest. Currently, I am enhancing my skills through the Applied Data Science Lab and other continuous learning opportunities.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in trade operations, client services, and data analysis. My role as an Assistant Manager in Trade Operations at Standard Chartered Bank allowed me to develop my skills in managing import/export transactions and ensuring compliance with banking regulations. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive business decisions and improve operational efficiency.
