Swapna Prathikantham
@swapnaprathikantham
Aspiring data analyst trained at Generation Australia; analyzed streaming-business performance and surfaced a -7.10% operating contribution margin.
What I'm looking for
At Generation Australia, I completed hands-on data analytics training in Excel, SQL, Python, Jupyter Notebook and Power BI. In a capstone project, I collaborated on an analysis of an Australian subscription streaming business, cleaning and validating eight datasets and examining revenue, operating costs and trends.
That analysis identified a -7.10% operating contribution margin against a 12% target, flagged inconsistencies in marketing conversion data, and examined improving monthly financial performance. I shared findings and recommendations through a collaborative dashboard and team presentation.
Before pursuing data analytics, I worked across employment services, procurement, logistics and customer service, and ran Swapna Photography. I’m continuing to build my analytics and responsible AI skills through practical projects and professional development.
