Data Analyst at American Express turning operational data into Power BI dashboards for KPI and exception monitoring.

United States
Message

At American Express, I analyze operational WIP, project, utilization, and performance data to surface aging items, exceptions, and trends that need follow-up. I build Power BI dashboards for operational KPIs, project status, utilization, and financial metrics.

I develop SQL reporting datasets, views, and stored procedures, and use SQL, Python, and Excel to analyze data and automate recurring preparation. I also validate source-to-target data and reconcile ETL outputs to support accurate reporting.

At Ally Financial, I developed Power BI dashboards for financial reporting and operational performance, and wrote complex SQL queries to investigate data and reporting issues. I traced inconsistencies to upstream sources and transformation processes, then supported root-cause analysis and corrective follow-up.

At EPAM Systems, I developed SQL-based operational and financial reporting solutions and built Power BI and Tableau dashboards for KPI tracking and progress reporting. Across these roles, I’ve worked on data quality, trend analysis, and reporting workflows that help teams monitor performance and investigate exceptions.
