I care about one thing in data work: that the number on the dashboard is true. Anyone can make a chart. The hard part is everything underneath it, the validation queries, the reconciliation checks, the "why does this look wrong" hunts nobody asked for, and that's the part I genuinely enjoy.

It shows in the numbers I can defend: a 3-hour daily reporting routine automated down to under 20 minutes, 150 bad records caught every week before they could mislead a decision, ad-hoc requests cut from 15 a week to 2, and personal pipelines that process 44.2M records and audit themselves to 0.00% variance against published government totals.

What a team gets with me is the full loop: an analyst's skepticism about every number, enough engineering (Python, SQL, Airflow, dbt) to fix the process that produced it, and the communication habits, weekly demos, client follow-ups, plain-English answers, that make the work land with the people who use it.

MS in Computer Science from the University of Houston, based in Houston. Open to Data Analyst and Analytics Engineer roles, on-site, hybrid, or remote.

Experience

Instructional Assistant — Data & Analytics

University of Houston

Apr 2025 – May 2026

15 Teams EduSourced Agile / Kanban

Served as the bridge between 15 MIS student teams and the Executive Service Corps of Houston (ESCH), coaching each team on agile delivery for its nonprofit client and owning the weekly presentations, client follow-ups, and status updates that kept every project on track.
Built project-tracking dashboards in EduSourced (the university's client-project platform), giving each team, their nonprofit client, and instructors a shared view of progress, weekly submissions, and final deliverables, so I could oversee every project from a single page.
Tracked every team's live project with its assigned nonprofit client, coaching teams through Kanban and Scrum-Kanban hybrid workflows and stepping in to unblock scope, timeline, and delivery issues before they reached the client.

Data Analyst

Zensar Technologies — Bengaluru, KA

Mar 2023 – Apr 2024

3h → 20m SLA Dashboards

Cut a client's daily report prep from 3 hours to under 20 minutes by replacing manual Excel extraction with Python (Pandas) automation.
Wrote SQL data-quality checks in PostgreSQL (CTEs, window functions) across 5 source systems, catching about 150 malformed or duplicate records every week before they could skew delivery reports.
Dropped ad-hoc PM requests from 15 a week to 2 or 3 by building Power BI dashboards for delivery SLAs and turnaround times, and kept metric definitions consistent across delivery teams with a centralized data dictionary.
