Ryan Harris

I am a versatile and results-oriented data analyst/business analyst with hands-on experience in transforming complex data into actionable insights. My proven ability to build interactive dashboards and streamline reporting processes has significantly supported business strategies through statistical modeling and performance tracking. I am skilled in Python, SQL, Tableau, Power BI, and Excel, and have achieved project-based success, such as improving donation targeting by 112%. My passion lies in driving smarter decision-making through clean, accessible data and clear communication.

In my recent role as a Business Analyst at TakeLessons, I analyzed platform-wide user data to identify trends in student retention and booking behaviors, which informed product enhancements and marketing strategies. I developed and maintained interactive dashboards to track KPIs and partnered with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into data requirements. My efforts in streamlining internal reporting processes led to a 40% reduction in manual data preparation time through SQL and VBA automation.

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Sciences in Data Analytics from the University of North Texas, where I engaged in relevant coursework such as Data Analysis and Database Design. I also hold a Google Data Analytics Professional Certificate. I am eager to leverage my skills and experience in a dynamic environment that values data-driven decision-making.
