Results-driven Data Analyst with expertise in data automation and analytics.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-driven Data Analyst with over 4 years of experience in SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, and ETL development. My journey has been marked by a strong track record of automating reporting workflows, which has significantly reduced manual effort by 85% and improved data accuracy by 35%. I have successfully built over 20 scalable pipelines and 15 real-time dashboards, enabling faster and more informed decision-making for my teams.
During my tenure at Microsoft, I engineered robust Azure product sales data pipelines that eliminated tedious manual workflows, saving over 120 analyst hours per month. I also designed dynamic Power BI dashboards that improved stakeholder visibility and reduced internal communication overhead by 50%. My experience at IBM further honed my skills in leading cross-functional analytics teams, where I triaged critical incidents and implemented machine learning models to enhance operational efficiency.
