What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I build and scale analytics pipelines and dashboards, collaborate with stakeholders, and use data storytelling to drive measurable business impact.

I am a data analyst with 5+ years of experience transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive business growth and policy impact.

I design, implement, and maintain ETL pipelines and real-time dashboards using tools such as Kafka, FlinkSQL, NiFi, ClickHouse, PostgreSQL, and Redshift, and deliver visualizations in PowerBI, Superset, and Tableau.

I have partnered with stakeholders across finance, education, and technology to translate business requirements into data-driven solutions, led platform redesigns, and implemented monitoring and alerting to ensure data integrity and reliability.

I am passionate about data storytelling, optimizing ETL workloads for performance, and enabling organizations to make informed decisions that improve efficiency and customer experience.
