What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a data-focused role where I can use SQL, MS Excel, and R to clean and query data, turn it into insights, and apply practical machine-learning/AI to improve decisions and day-to-day operations.

I’m a data analyst and machine learning/AI developer with “passion” for information technology and data analysis, and “proficient in analyzing and solving problems.” My focus is “database querying” and “the use of SQL,” plus “data cleaning” using MS Excel and R, so insights are reliable and decisions are easier to make.

Across roles, I’ve supported execution through clear reporting, analysis, and communication— from overseeing invoice and project approvals to building a mobile-based transit alarm notification system that used real-time location tracking and proximity alerts. I’ve also worked as an IT specialist providing daily technical support and basic cybersecurity measures, and I bring a creative, detail-driven mindset from freelancing and managing exhibitions.
