What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and detail-oriented data analyst currently working with HSBC in the Financial Crime Risk team. My role involves leading audits and employing machine learning techniques to enhance decision-making processes. I take pride in my ability to create Power BI dashboards that streamline audit monitoring, reducing turnaround times significantly. My analytical skills have been honed through hands-on experience with over 250 investigations, where I applied sharp judgment to ensure compliance and effective risk controls.
In addition to my professional experience, I have undertaken various personal projects that showcase my passion for data science. For instance, I developed a sentiment analysis tool for WhatsApp user interactions, leveraging natural language processing to provide insights into user dynamics. My academic background in Chemical Engineering from IIT (BHU) has equipped me with a strong foundation in analytical thinking and problem-solving, which I apply to my work in data analytics.
