@prasannavajjha
I’m a detail-oriented data analyst specializing in mining, reporting, and engineering-ready data systems.
What I'm looking for
I bring 9 years of data analyst experience across automotive and Education/Learning, with a consistent focus on accurate data extraction, transformation, and reporting. I’m known for staying detail-oriented while supporting fast-moving engineering and stakeholder needs.
In my current Data Specialist role at Toyota Motors North America (R&D), I process technical information documents using CAD/CATIA, perform quality checks, and release accurate documentation in proprietary Toyota systems. I also interface with engineers for error correction, manage supplier order entry, and process Toyota Manufacturing and Supplier Engineering Change Requests.
Previously, I mined and analyzed competitor data using IHS Polk and MTab for Nissan Technical Center, supporting powertrain planning, benchmarking, and reporting through Excel charting and pivot-based analysis. I also generated warranty reporting and coordinated warranty data workflows using Microsoft Access, Excel, and SAP Quality Management Module at Harman International, while building database structures with Oracle 11g and delivering insights through tools like Alteryx, MindTap, and My-NG-Connect.
