What I'm looking for

I seek collaborative roles using analytics and ML to solve business problems, with opportunities for skill growth, cross-functional teamwork, and impact-driven work.

I am a data analyst with over five years of experience transforming complex data into meaningful, actionable insights. I have delivered data extraction, cleaning, statistical analysis, visualization and predictive models while supporting UX consultancy and usability testing for websites, and designing branding and social media assets.

My technical toolkit includes R, Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Excel, Azure, Jupyter and Google Analytics; I continually expand my skills into machine learning and generative AI tools. I take pride in meeting deadlines, collaborating across teams, and applying analytical rigor to solve business problems and support data-driven decisions.
