What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a hybrid role where I can lead analytics product strategy and delivery—BI, advanced analytics, and AI/ML—partnering with stakeholders to define roadmaps, build KPI frameworks, and drive measurable outcomes through data and automation.

I’m a Data & Analytics leader with 8+ years of experience delivering enterprise-scale analytics products, business intelligence solutions, and data-driven decision support systems across EdTech and semiconductor manufacturing environments. I specialize in product strategy, analytics delivery, stakeholder management, KPI design, SQL-based data engineering, and AI/ML-powered predictive analytics. I’m known for translating complex requirements into scalable analytics solutions that executives can act on.

At the University of Leeds, I owned analytics roadmaps and prioritized data initiatives with senior stakeholders across Finance, Operations, Procurement, HR, and Product. I led delivery of data integration, BI, and performance management solutions supporting 1M+ user interactions, building executive dashboards, KPI frameworks, and predictive analytics that influenced £5M+ strategic decisions. I also established data governance and self-service analytics standards to improve data quality, decision speed, and operational efficiency across global teams.

Earlier at Applied Materials India, I led global IT analytics and reporting for semiconductor manufacturing, engineering, and product lifecycle operations. I designed SDLC and PLM dashboards integrated with Jira and Tableau to track delivery, quality, and SLA performance across 50+ programs, strengthening governance, security, and compliance through CI/CD controls and audit-ready reporting. I take pride in building analytics systems that combine measurable impact, automation, and responsible governance—from ETL pipelines and dashboards to experimentation and advanced modelling.
