Rudin Awum Awum
@rudinawumawum
Junior Data Analyst specializing in SQL, Tableau, and econometric analysis for policy insights.
What I'm looking for
I’m a data analyst with a PhD background in Agricultural Economics (awaiting results) and hands-on experience turning complex datasets into measurable KPIs, clear dashboards, and actionable insights. I bring strong problem-solving, attention to detail, and a research mindset shaped by years of rigorous analysis.
In my current role as a Junior Data Analyst (remote), I collaborate with stakeholders to translate business needs into KPIs, then collect, clean, and transform data using Excel, SQL, and Power Query. I’ve automated recurring reporting workflows and built interactive Tableau dashboards that improved reporting efficiency by approximately 25–30% (including reducing weekly report generation time from 8 hours to 5.5 hours), while also reducing data inconsistencies by 17%.
Before this, I worked as a Writing Feedback Specialist, analyzing and validating 19,000+ documents under strict deadlines—strengthening my ability to ensure quality, synthesize patterns at scale, and communicate findings clearly. I’m also building expertise in Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling and policy simulation for agricultural trade, food security, and economic policy analysis, supported by self-study in tools and frameworks like Social Accounting Matrices (SAMs) and GAMS.
