What I'm looking for

I seek analytics roles where I can build data pipelines, apply ML for business impact, craft clear visualizations, and work in collaborative, product-oriented teams.

I am a Master's student in Data Analytics and Business Economics with hands-on experience building data pipelines, predictive models, and UX-driven educational products. I combine economics training with practical machine learning and visualization skills to deliver actionable insights.

My projects include a sentiment-enhanced stock trading predictor and a cross-market volatility analysis that reduced processing time by 50% and improved analytical accuracy by 30%. I have built production-style pipelines using Python and SQL and applied models like Random Forest to fraud detection with 92% accuracy.

In industry and training programs, I have improved lead-scoring accuracy to 85% using SQL and Pandas, delivered eight time-sensitive data projects ranking in the top 5% of peers, and created engaging educational experiences that increased student engagement and retention.

I am collaborative, product-minded, and skilled at communicating technical results to non-technical audiences through dashboards and multimedia content. I seek roles where I can apply ML, data engineering, and UX principles to solve business problems and drive impact.
