What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can use SQL, Python, and BI dashboards to drive ROI-focused decisions—combining forecasting, experimentation, and automation to improve growth, retention, and operational performance.

I’m a data analytics professional focused on turning large datasets into forecasting, ROI decisions, and measurable operational improvements. At Careem (An Uber Company), I develop demand models and financial forecasts, and I optimize fleet allocation and incentive strategy across UAE & Jordan using SQL and Python to improve supply reliability and incentive efficiency by up to 20%.

I lead analytics through automation and experimentation—building real-time BI dashboards in tools like Tableau, Power BI, Looker Studio and Apache Superset for senior leadership, and evaluating strategic initiatives like commission upselling and flash sales through revenue, retention, and performance impact analysis.

Previously, as a Data Analytics Lead at Bazaar Technologies, I delivered cohort and LTV modeling that improved retention and reordering by 13%, while Mixpanel + SQL product and funnel work increased session duration by 20% and basket size by 15%. Earlier, at Dun & Bradstreet, I managed a USD 500K performance marketing budget and used Power BI and SQL product analysis to reduce cost per lead by 30% YoY and increase customer retention by 18%.
