Experience
With 14 years in analytics and data science, I bring hands-on expertise in SQL, Python, and cloud platforms (BigQuery, GCP, Docker) for end-to-end data solutions—from data integration and automation to machine learning and statistical analysis.
My background includes building reproducible predictive models, deploying analytics pipelines, and delivering actionable insights for decision-makers.
