What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an analytics role where I can build ETL/ELT pipelines and BI dashboards with Python/SQL, collaborate in Agile teams, and turn data into measurable business outcomes.

I’m a Data Analyst with experience building and maintaining KPI dashboards, performing exploratory data analysis, and transforming datasets so teams can make faster, more confident decisions. I use Python and SQL to analyze structured and semi-structured data, and I focus on data cleaning, validation, and reliable reporting.

Most recently, I’ve supported onsite analytics at Trident Media Works (Pvt) Ltd and previously built scalable ETL/ELT pipelines and stakeholder dashboards in a hybrid role at Growth-Prof Pty Ltd. Earlier, at HCL Technologies Lanka (Pvt) Ltd, I supported enterprise service lifecycle work and used SQL and Python to troubleshoot and improve operational reporting. I’m also pursuing an MSc in Data Science at Purdue University, and I enjoy applying my skills through projects like customer churn prediction and Power BI dashboards.
