About

I completed my Master's in Data Analytics and Engineering, and I’m passionate about turning complex data into clear, actionable insights. With a background in Python, R, SQL, Excel, and big data technologies, I enjoy diving into datasets, uncovering hidden patterns, and translating findings into real-world impact. I’m naturally curious, and I enjoy exploring data to discover the underlying patterns and stories that aren't immediately obvious. Whether it’s optimizing a process, trying out a new tool, or collaborating with a team to improve outcomes, I’m always looking for smarter, more efficient ways to work. My skill set includes data preprocessing, database management, and building interactive, insight-driven dashboards with Power BI. I bring a thoughtful and analytical approach to every project and take pride in making data not just accessible, but truly valuable.
