What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can build reliable data pipelines, deliver clear dashboards and reports, and use predictive analytics to support real decisions—especially around ESG, sustainability, and responsible sourcing.

I’m a Data Analyst and Data Scientist with strong experience in data management, analytics, research support, and reporting across operational and technical environments. I focus on turning complex datasets into actionable insights for decision making.

At Bactec Systems (Pvt) Ltd, I automated data processing workflows using Python and SQL to improve operational reporting efficiency. I built and maintained data pipelines to extract, clean, validate, and transform datasets, and I developed data quality assurance procedures to ensure completeness, consistency, and reliability.

I conduct exploratory data analysis, develop predictive models to identify optimisation opportunities, and communicate findings clearly to technical and non-technical stakeholders. I also develop Power BI dashboards and reporting tools, producing structured datasets and analytical reports that support data-driven decision making.

Earlier, I managed beneficiary datasets using Kobo Toolbox and SCOPE systems, performing data validation, verification, and quality checks to improve reporting accuracy. I hold an MSc in Mechatronics & Artificial Intelligence (with deep learning and visual sensors in my thesis) and I’m especially motivated by ESG, sustainability, responsible sourcing, and data-driven decision support.
