About
Data doesn’t speak for itself, I help it find its voice. I’m a Data Analyst with 3+ years of experience transforming raw data into actionable insights across finance, government, and technology sectors. My work has supported everything from investment strategies and operational efficiencies to environmental planning and policy-making. Armed with a Master’s in Applied Computing from the University of Windsor and a background in Computer Science Engineering, I specialize in Python, SQL, R, Power BI, and AWS. I’ve built forecasting models, automated dashboards, and optimized ETL pipelines reducing turnaround times and manual efforts by 30% or more. At the Ministry of Forests (BC Public Service), I predicted forest yields with 98% accuracy and improved R code performance by 40%. At Growdex Financial Solutions, I analyzed client portfolios and compliance data, helping increase client retention by 10%. I’ve also worked with Cognizant on cloud-based performance optimization and collaborated across teams to deliver data-driven insights. Technical Stack: Python, R, SQL, Power BI, DAX, SAS, SAP BusinessObjects, AWS (RDS, DynamoDB, Lambda), Snowflake, MySQL, Oracle, Spark, Hadoop Key Strengths: • Data visualization & storytelling • Data modeling & forecasting • Workflow automation • Business intelligence & stakeholder collaboration • Agile/Scrum & project delivery I’m passionate about solving complex data problems and uncovering the “why” behind the numbers.
