About me

I’m a data-driven and people-oriented problem solver with a strong foundation in business analysis, consulting, analytics, and management. I’m committed to delivering high-quality outcomes through analytical thinking, collaboration, and clear communication.

Over the course of my journey, I’ve delivered impactful projects across energy forecasting, housing market trends, nonprofit strategy, and CRM change management. Whether working independently or collaborating with diverse cross-functional teams, I focus on driving outcomes that make a real-world impact. At Accenture, I supported global banking platforms by managing 100+ JIRA tickets, writing detailed user stories, and coordinating user acceptance testing (UAT) within Agile environments.

My technical toolkit includes:
  • Data & Visualization: Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Excel
  • Programming & Modeling: Python, R, Jupyter, Machine Learning
  • Testing: Selenium, Manual/Automation, UAT
  • Collaboration & Strategy: JIRA, Confluence, Figma, Change Management

Originally from India and now based in Canada, I bring a global perspective shaped by cross-cultural experiences and continuous learning. I hold a Bachelor’s in Engineering and two Canadian post-diploma programs with a 4.0 GPA. Along the way, I’ve developed a strong blend of analytical depth, stakeholder engagement, leadership, and a collaborative mindset that thrives in dynamic, fast-paced environments.

I’m currently open to full-time opportunities in Business Analysis, Data Analytics, Consulting, or Management.
I am highly adaptable and eager to learn, open to roles that offer growth, challenge, and meaningful impact.
I am authorized to work in Canada under a valid Post-Graduation Work Permit (PGWP).

In my free time, I enjoy gaming, reading books, exploring new tech tools, and working on mini side projects that fuel my creativity and curiosity.

🤝 Let’s connect.
I’m always open to collaboration, innovation, and solving meaningful problems together.
