What I'm looking for

I’m seeking techno-functional roles to drive business with Data Solutions, pairing data infrastructure work with business communication. I want to deepen my domain Subject Matter Expertise while delivering automated frameworks and clear, actionable analytics.

I’m a Senior Data Analyst with 7.5+ years of multi-domain experience building core data frameworks across Maersk, American Express, and Lumiq.ai. I’ve delivered measurable impact—20% improvement in reporting accuracy, cut monthly manual effort by 2 days, and reduced analyst dependency by 40%—by redesigning SQL data pipelines, adding Python automation, and strengthening KPI intelligence reporting.

At Maersk, I owned and maintained the Ocean Market Sizing framework used by leadership for market-share KPIs. I built a reliable monthly automated process integrating data from 10+ web/API/SQL sources into a consolidated MS SQL database, and created an organization-wide Newscast Archive & Intelligence Dashboard using Python-based NLP and OpenAI LLMs for keyword tagging and faster insight retrieval.

I also bring business-ready communication to technical work—turning complex analysis into clear, actionable storytelling for senior strategy stakeholders while partnering across engineering and product teams.
