About Me

A little about how I work

I'm a data analyst with 4+ years of experience, working mostly in SQL, Python, and Power BI — across operational, customer, and financial data. I'm IBM Data Analyst certified and hold an MSc in Computer Science from Algoma University. At APAR Nepal I cleaned and analysed 500K+ records, improved data quality by about 30%, cut manual reporting time by 20–25%, and built ETL workflows that took the repetitive work out of stakeholder reporting.

I'm a data analyst based in Edmonton, AB, Canada, with an MSc in Computer Science from Algoma University. Day to day I work in SQL, Python, and Power BI, and I spend a fair bit of time talking to stakeholders to figure out what they actually need. I'm at my best taking a vague business question and turning it into a clear answer — a query, a dashboard, or a report someone can act on.
