What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my analytical skills and offers opportunities for professional growth in a collaborative environment.

I am a results-oriented and analytical professional with over six years of experience in data analysis within the financial and IT sectors. My strong foundation in Python, SQL, and Power BI allows me to translate complex data into actionable business insights. I am eager to apply my expertise in machine learning, data visualization, and stakeholder management to drive data-informed decision-making in a challenging Data Analyst or Business Analyst role.

In my recent role as a Senior Data Analyst at The Bank AL-Habib Limited, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into actionable analytics solutions. Leading a team of five data analysts, I provided mentorship and managed performance to ensure high-quality insights and reporting. My commitment to regulatory compliance ensured that our operations adhered to anti-money laundering and know-your-customer regulations.

Currently, I am a Graduate Teaching Assistant at The University of Glasgow, where I participate in the full assessment process and assist with the supervision of student projects. My academic background includes a Master of Science in Financial Technology, where I focused on machine learning for data analysis and big data analytics, further enhancing my analytical skills and knowledge.
