What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can drive data-driven product delivery, collaborate in Agile teams, solve process inefficiencies, and grow into senior analytics or product leadership.

I am a versatile Business and Data Analyst with 4+ years of experience translating complex business needs into actionable insights and scalable solutions across healthcare, finance, and risk domains.

I have led end-to-end project execution—gathering requirements, mapping processes, building ETL pipelines, automating reporting, and developing executive Power BI dashboards—delivering measurable improvements such as 30% increases in policy data accuracy and 25% faster processing times.

I collaborate in Agile environments with product owners, developers, QA, and stakeholders to ensure continuous delivery, maintain compliance (HIPAA, ICD-10), and support data-driven decision-making through strong documentation (BRDs/FRDs/SRS) and governance practices.
