What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration, where I can leverage my analytical skills to contribute to impactful projects.

I am an energetic and analytical professional with a solid foundation in data-driven decision-making, operational analysis, and process optimization. My experience includes budgeting, forecasting, and data analysis, where I excel at translating complex data into actionable insights. I am eager to apply my statistical and analytical skills in a Data Analyst role to solve real-world problems and drive informed business decisions.

Currently, I serve as a Demonstrator at the University of Kelaniya, where I deliver lectures and hands-on practical sessions for undergraduate students. I lead courses on Advanced Excel with Power BI, focusing on financial modeling and data analysis. My previous role as a Management Trainee at Eskimo Fashion Knitwear involved conducting in-depth research and analysis to support decision-making, preparing financial statements, and engaging in budgeting and forecasting processes.
