About Me

I’m a passionate Data and Business Intelligence Analyst with over four years of experience supporting healthcare, financial, and SaaS organizations across India and the United States. I specialize in translating business requirements into SQL-driven analytics, automated reporting systems, and executive dashboards that support data-driven decision-making. With hands-on experience working with large-scale datasets exceeding 50 million records, I have built reliable and auditable reporting solutions using tools such as SQL, Python, Power BI, and cloud-based analytics platforms.

I am especially focused on transforming complex data into clear and actionable insights through KPI standardization, utilization analysis, and performance monitoring. I work closely with business stakeholders, product owners, and data engineering teams to validate data pipelines and ensure reporting accuracy. Known for structured problem solving, strong documentation practices, and attention to data governance, I am always eager to learn, grow, and contribute to projects that create meaningful business impact.
