Data Analyst at Freelance, turning multi-source data into KPI dashboards and recurring management reports.
What I'm looking for
Since January 2025, I’ve worked independently on analytics assignments, preparing recurring MIS reports and management dashboards across sales, workforce, finance, and public-service use cases. I use Power BI, SQL, DAX, Power Query, and Advanced Excel to turn multi-source data into management-ready summaries.
In this work, I consolidate, clean, reconcile, and validate data, then build star-schema models and interactive Power BI reports. I also standardise reporting structures, calculation logic, and quality checks for recurring analysis.
Previously, at District Urban Development Cell, Government Department, I supported MIS reporting across 5+ departments for 10+ senior stakeholders. My reporting and validation work helped improve reported data accuracy from approximately 80% to 90%.
I developed KPI-driven reporting solutions for recruitment, expenditure, claims, and scheme monitoring, helping reduce turnaround time by approximately 30%. I also automated repeatable tasks, reducing manual spreadsheet effort by approximately 60%, and trained colleagues to use dashboards and self-service reports.
