DATA & BI PROFESSIONAL — PUNE, INDIA

I turn messy transactional and behavioral data into insights — through Power BI dashboards, SQL pipelines, and machine learning models people actually use.

About

A little context on how I work.

I'm a data and BI professional working across Power BI, SQL, Python, and machine learning — comfortable moving from a raw dataset to a modeled schema to a dashboard a stakeholder can actually act on.

My work spans two data-focused internships and a run of end-to-end projects covering retail analytics, user-engagement reporting, customer segmentation, churn prediction, and computer vision. I care about the full pipeline: getting the data model right, writing SQL that holds up, and building reports and models that hold up under real questions.

Have a dataset that needs a story?

I'm open to data analytics, BI, and data science roles — always glad to talk about a dashboard, a pipeline, or a model in progress.
