What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build high-impact Power BI dashboards and automated data workflows—using SQL, Python, and Databricks—while improving data quality through strong validation and root-cause analysis, in a delivery-focused, collaborative environment.

I’m a data administrator and analytics professional with 8+ years across Data Administration and Analytics in the retail sector, plus 5+ years as a Java developer & tester. I turn large, messy datasets into reliable, business-ready reporting—building Power BI Desktop reports, modeling with DAX, and preparing data using M code in Power Query, then publishing to Power BI Service with interactive dashboards.

I’m hands-on with automation and data quality: I run validation, anomaly detection, and root-cause analysis with cross-functional stakeholders, and I’ve built Python scripts (including PDF/attachment automation with Selenium) and SQL solutions to support analysis and compliance. I also bring strong delivery discipline from Agile/Scrum through Waterfall, supported by Microsoft, Databricks, Azure, Power Platform, and SAFe certifications.
