Greetings!

I’m passionate about the intersection of technology and logic, which is why I’m drawn to Data Analysis. To me, data isn't just about numbers—it’s about understanding the stories they tell and using them to drive impactful decisions. While data analysis isn’t always as straightforward as other decisions in life, it’s incredibly satisfying to dig into raw numbers and turn them into actionable insights that influence key outcomes for businesses and organizations.

The thing that excites me the most about my work is knowing that the data I analyze and the visualizations I create aren’t just abstract concepts—they have real-world impact. Whether it's helping my immediate team make informed decisions or enabling other departments to achieve their goals, I love knowing my contributions matter. My work reaches beyond my immediate team, which is particularly fulfilling. Knowing that others are positively affected by the solutions I provide makes the process more meaningful and energizes me to keep pushing forward.

I’m motivated by challenges. Every project I work on is an opportunity to improve and find new, more efficient ways to approach tasks. I believe in starting early, getting my hands into the data as quickly as possible, and staying agile throughout the project. Breaking large problems into smaller, more manageable pieces is key to keeping things moving forward, and that’s how I ensure I’m not only meeting but exceeding expectations. I also take pride in being proactive—predicting future needs and preparing solutions in advance, whether for team members or stakeholders. This anticipatory mindset allows me to move quickly and effectively while ensuring that I’m always prepared for the next challenge.

Collaboration is another driving force for me. While I’m comfortable working independently, I know the best results come from working closely with others. I enjoy collaborating with my colleagues, exchanging ideas, and getting feedback that can improve both the process and the final product. I also believe in the power of communication and strive to simplify complex ideas and solutions to make them easier for everyone to understand. This is especially important when presenting data to non-technical stakeholders, ensuring they grasp the insights I’ve uncovered.

Outside of work, I’m deeply passionate about technology. I love staying up-to-date with the latest trends and testing new innovations, especially in the realm of Smart Home technology. Whether I’m helping friends and family set up new systems or implementing the latest tech into my own life, I find great joy in discovering what’s next and seeing how technology can improve our lives.

I am a graduate of Tuskegee University, where I studied Computer Science. During my time there, I gained a strong foundation in computer languages, software techniques, and critical thinking, all of which have been pivotal in my career.

After graduating, I began my career as a Systems Engineer. In this role, I learned the significance of documentation, requirement gathering, and tool implementation. It was also here that I was introduced to Data Analytics, where I started identifying KPIs, querying data, and developing ad-hoc reports.

Soon after, I joined a talented team of Data Analysts, contributing to prognostics and diagnostics. Eventually, I took on the role of Senior/Lead Data Analyst, where I oversaw visualizations and played a key role in guiding teams toward data-driven decisions. Since then, I have continuously sought out new methods and techniques to further enhance my skills in data exploration and analysis.

While I have had the privilege of helping teams make impactful decisions, I believe my most significant career milestone is still ahead. I am eager to continue growing and evolving within the ever-changing field of data.

While I don’t have physical work to showcase at the moment, I’m proud of the projects I’ve worked on that have had a tangible impact on organizations. I’ve contributed to projects that range from creating dynamic, data-driven dashboards to solving complex data problems that influence business decisions. Here are some highlights of the work I’ve done:

• Data Dashboards & Reporting: I’ve developed various dashboards using tools like Tableau, providing both internal teams and clients with real-time insights into key metrics. These dashboards have empowered teams to make informed, data-backed decisions. From tracking KPIs to forecasting trends, my work has helped streamline reporting and visualization processes.

• Data Analysis & Insights: I have a strong track record of conducting in-depth data analysis for both internal and external use. Whether it’s analyzing sales data to determine trends or identifying key performance indicators for team performance, I’m passionate about turning raw data into actionable insights. My analyses have been pivotal in driving business strategy and performance improvements.

• Ad-Hoc Data Requests: Throughout my career, I’ve responded to countless ad-hoc data requests, from executives needing real-time data to teams needing insights for strategic planning. I’ve consistently delivered on time, providing solutions that address both immediate and long-term needs.

• SQL & Database Management: I’ve written complex SQL queries to pull and manipulate data from various databases such as Snowflake and Microsoft SQL Server. My ability to work with cloud-based databases has allowed me to optimize workflows, improve data accessibility, and support business intelligence initiatives.

Each of these projects reflects my commitment to turning data into a powerful tool for decision-making. While I’m in the process of building up a physical portfolio, these examples reflect my problem-solving abilities, the tools I use, and the impact I have on organizations.
