Summary

A dynamic Data Analyst professional, I bring a robust 8year track record in Data Analytics, Business Analysis, and Quality Assurance within the IT sector. Data is more than just numbers to me; it’s a story waiting to be told. I use data to craft narratives that not only explain what happened but also predict what could happen next, guiding stakeholders in making better decisions and understanding the "why" behind the data. Renowned for my adeptness at multitasking and rapid learning, I seamlessly integrate innovative approaches with pragmatic solutions.
