About

My journey from a professional sportsman on the badminton court to managing complex datasets has been a natural evolution, with each step adding a new layer to my analytical and strategic approach. The discipline and tenacity honed through sports laid the foundation for my transition into data analytics, shaping my mindset of precision and adaptability. As a Business Analyst, I have applied Machine Learning models and analytical techniques to extract impactful insights from complex datasets, enabling data-driven decision-making and improving business outcomes. This included using Python for data manipulation and ML model implementation, SQL for efficient data querying and management, Power BI for creating interactive visualizations, and Advanced Excel for building sophisticated models that generate deeper business insights. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Data Science & Analytics Engineering at Northeastern University, I am eager to combine my technical expertise, business strategy, and the intuitive finesse of a strategic player to contribute meaningfully to data-driven innovation by utilizing latest technologies.
