What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level role where I can use Python/Excel and finance fundamentals (ratios, statements) to turn messy data into actionable insights, learn industry-grade analytics, and grow with a data-driven team.

I’m a BS Accounting & Finance student at the Institute of Business Administration, Karachi, and I’ve earned Dean’s list recognition for three consecutive semesters (CGPA 3.66). I’m driven by turning real-world financial questions into clear, data-backed conclusions—whether it’s sector performance, crisis transmission, or decision-focused analysis.

In my projects, I performed a sector-wide financial analysis of Pakistan’s fertilizer industry using liquidity, profitability, efficiency, solvency, and market ratios, benchmarking against Fauji Fertilizer Company. I also built practical analytics skills through “Dealership Data Cleaning & Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)” with Python (Pandas, Matplotlib), and I developed an entrepreneurial hostel discovery platform from primary research to an initial listings database.
