Business Data Analyst | Turning Data into Insights with Python, SQL & Power BI | Azure Certified

About

I turn messy data into decisions people can actually act on. For the past 2+ years as a Business Data Analyst, I've worked at the intersection of raw data and real business outcomes — building ETL pipelines, designing Power BI dashboards, and writing Python and SQL solutions that didn't just look good in a meeting but actually cut processing time, reduced errors, and helped teams move faster. At Acies, I worked with clients in financial services — think large banks and leasing firms — where data quality isn't a nice-to-have, it's everything. I built automated pipelines that reduced data processing time by 40%, dashboards that cut reporting turnaround by 30%, and led UAT cycles that kept production stable across dozens of releases. A lot of my work lived in that unglamorous but critical space — reconciling data, catching discrepancies before they became problems, and making sure the numbers stakeholders trusted were actually trustworthy. What I enjoy most is being the person who bridges the gap between a business question and a data answer. Whether that's a one-off analysis or a system someone relies on every day. My core toolkit: Python (Pandas, NumPy, Scikit-learn), SQL, Power BI, DAX, Excel, and ETL development. Beyond my job, I've been sharpening my edge through AI for Techies — going deeper into Python, Machine Learning, and Power BI, while also getting hands-on with AI, Generative AI, and Agentic AI. I want to bring more than hindsight to the table, and understanding where AI is headed feels like a non-negotiable part of that. I'm currently open to Data Analyst or Business Data Analyst roles where I can keep solving hard data problems for teams that care about getting it right. 📩 Reach me at spragati522@gmail.com or connect directly here on LinkedIn.
