About me

Intro

I am a data and business intelligence professional with a strong analytical background in engineering and advanced training in data science. After completing my Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from Ghulam Ishaq Khan Institute and a Master’s in Data Science from Northumbria University, Newcastle (UK), I focused my career on transforming data into actionable business insights. With over two years of experience as an Analyst at Afiniti, I specialize in Business Intelligence, data analysis, and reporting. I have extensive hands-on experience with Power BI, SQL, and Excel, building dashboards, developing reports, and analyzing complex datasets to support strategic and operational decision-making. I regularly work with tools such as Jira and Confluence to collaborate with cross-functional teams and deliver data solutions aligned with business objectives. My work centers on turning raw data into clear, impactful insights that help organizations improve performance, optimize processes, and make informed decisions. I am particularly passionate about data visualization, BI reporting, and translating analytical findings into business value.
