What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration, encourages innovation, and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a seasoned data professional with 2.5 years of experience as an IT Business Analyst, specializing in supporting the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and delivering business-critical solutions through data-led insights. My ability to engage with both technical and non-technical teams has enabled me to elicit, document, and deliver clear requirements that drive successful software implementations, improving efficiency and service delivery.

During my tenure at TATA Consultancy Services, I successfully gathered and documented business requirements, leading to a 20% improvement in delivery timelines. I automated manual reporting processes, saving over 40 staff hours per month and enhancing report refresh frequency by 50%. My recent role as a Postgraduate Researcher at Volkswagen Group UK allowed me to design interactive dashboards that reduced manual reporting time by over 30%, showcasing my commitment to leveraging data for informed decision-making.
