Data Analyst
Transforming data into actionable insights through SQL, Python, Power BI, and Tableau. Specialized in building automated dashboards, KPI tracking, and delivering data-driven solutions that drive executive decision-making.
I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Computer Science at the University of South Florida, where I'm combining academic excellence (3.8 GPA) with hands-on data analytics experience. My journey in data began with a fascination for uncovering patterns and stories hidden within numbers.
Over the past 1.5 years at Millennium Intech, I've had the opportunity to transform this passion into measurable impact. I built automated SQL and Python pipelines that improved reporting accuracy by 30%, designed Power BI dashboards that became essential tools for leadership decisions, and reduced manual workloads by 20% through smart automation.
What drives me is the "aha" moment when data reveals an insight that changes how businesses make decisions. Whether it's detecting anomalies in marketing campaigns or forecasting trends that guide strategy, I thrive on turning complex datasets into clear, actionable recommendations.
