What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters collaboration and innovation, where I can leverage my analytical skills to drive impactful business decisions and contribute to a team-oriented culture.

I am a Business Analyst and Consultant with three years of experience dedicated to enhancing operational performance and supply chain efficiency through data-driven insights. My academic background includes an MBA in Business Analytics, where I honed my skills in SQL, Tableau, and Alteryx, enabling me to transform complex data into strategic outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led projects that resulted in significant improvements in operational efficiency. For instance, at TechNews, I conducted root cause analysis on advertising inefficiencies, boosting ROI by 25%. My role at Infosys involved redesigning procurement analytics, which reduced processing lags by 30% and improved visibility into supplier performance. I take pride in my ability to deliver executive-ready dashboards that enhance stakeholder alignment and accelerate decision-making processes.

My passion for data extends beyond my professional roles; I actively engage in projects that leverage advanced analytics and machine learning. I recently developed a healthcare risk classification model that achieved 96% accuracy in detecting malignant tumors, showcasing my commitment to using data for impactful solutions. I am eager to bring my analytical skills and leadership experience to a dynamic team focused on driving business success.
