About

Data has always fascinated me, not just the numbers but the stories they tell. With 4 years of experience in Data Analytics and Business Intelligence, I have worked in the BFSI space at Cognizant, specifically in Insurance and Claims, one of the most data-rich and decision-critical domains out there. I have spent those years building dashboards in Power BI and Tableau, writing SQL queries that cut through complexity, and translating raw data into insights that business teams can actually act on. There is something satisfying about handing a stakeholder a report that makes their decision obvious. What I enjoy most is sitting at the intersection of data and business, understanding not just what the data says but why it matters and what should happen next. I am currently open to Data Analyst and Business Intelligence roles in organizations where data is taken seriously.

Work experience

Software Engineer at Cognizant, Oct 2022 - Oct 2024 · 2 yrs 1 mo, Hyderabad, Telangana, India, Built Power BI dashboards using DAX and Power Query to track 8 plus KPIs across the full claims lifecycle. It ended up saving the claims team around 14 hours a week they were spending on manual triage every morning. Analyzed 10M plus records in SQL and Python to identify which escalation types were driving the most repeat contacts. Premium mismatches, claim denials, and failed renewals kept coming up as the biggest culprits. Built a Tableau dashboard tracking these trends by region, insurance type, and policy to claim duration which gave the business enough clarity to make process changes that reduced repeat escalations by 11%. Contributed to building and maintaining PostgreSQL reporting pipelines that delivered 5 daily and 3 weekly reports across claims, underwriting, engineering, and strategy teams through Power BI and Excel. Before this the teams were pulling a lot of this data manually. Worked closely with product, business strategy, and customer service teams to segment customers by policy type, risk profile, and behavioral patterns using A/B frameworks. From that we defined 8 KPIs that shaped product customization decisions and helped the business think through competitive positioning.
