At Lotus Bank, I translated stakeholder reporting requirements into SQL analyses, dashboards, and reports, delivering 45+ reports and dashboards for executive and operations teams.

I optimised SQL queries on SQL Server and PostgreSQL, improving performance by up to 60%. I also automated recurring reporting and data-quality checks with SSIS and Python.

At Qurk Ltd, I delivered SQL-driven analysis for a UK technology client and reduced query runtimes by 25–35% through query optimisation, index tuning, and execution-plan analysis.

At Pontem Innovations and Citylitics, I created Power BI dashboards and used Python and Excel to automate data preparation and analysis. I also managed a team of analysts at ICT Software Studio Laboratory and mentored junior analysts.
