What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can automate analytical workflows, build decision-ready dashboards, and use Python/R/SQL to deliver accurate insights—ideally in financial services—with room to grow my analytics and reporting impact.

I’m an Analyst with a strong foundation in statistics and hands-on experience in data analysis, automation, and business reporting. I’ve worked with large business datasets to support product performance tracking, pricing decisions, and management reporting—especially within the insurance and financial services domain.

I focus on turning data into action: I automated manual Excel workflows using Python, cutting processing time from several hours to minutes, and built interactive Power BI dashboards to visualize portfolio performance and product trends for quarterly reviews. I also bring rigor through data cleaning, validation, and reconciliation, and I continuously upskill through professional certifications and applied projects, including a Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate.
