What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can partner with stakeholders, turn ambiguous needs into governed analytics, and build reliable self-serve BI and executive dashboards using Power BI, SQL, Python, and Azure—while continuously improving delivery quality.

I’m a Senior Data Analyst with 6+ years delivering data-driven decision systems across customer experience, product growth, operations, and finance in enterprise and data-intensive environments. I translate ambiguous business needs into governed analytics solutions that executives can trust—driving operational efficiency and measurable business impact.

In my current role, I partner with business, operations, and leadership stakeholders to turn customer and operational needs into analytical requirements, and I lead Azure-based data pipeline work that improves data accuracy by 68% while reducing manual reporting effort by 47%. I also design certified Power BI semantic models with standardized KPIs and business rules, build executive dashboards for customer engagement and revenue performance (~$1.2M annually), and establish analytics intake/delivery processes to improve predictability and stakeholder trust.
