About me

I'm a Data Quality Analyst at Social Value Portal, working across Salesforce, Power BI and Excel to make sure the data stakeholders depend on is actually reliable. I identify reporting issues and data inconsistencies, dig into root causes, and work with sales, delivery, QA and customer support teams to get things fixed — not just flagged.

Before that I spent over a year in FMCG and retail at TECHROLE Solutions in India — 50k-row datasets, Tableau dashboards, ETL automation and direct client stakeholder management across tight deadlines. That's where I developed the habit of asking "why does this number look wrong?" before just cleaning the row.

I have an MSc in Artificial Intelligence from the University of Huddersfield (2024). My dissertation built a drug recommendation system using transformer models and sentiment analysis of real patient reviews — which taught me a lot about working with messy, inconsistent, real-world data.

Alongside my day job I run a freelance data analytics programme for career-changers — SQL, Power BI, Python, Excel, built from scratch. Three of my learners have moved into data roles since I started it.

I'm looking for a Data Analyst or BI Developer role where I can work closely with stakeholders on programme assurance, governance and performance reporting. I like problems that need you to understand the business before you touch the data.

Day to day that means: structured validation checks and data reviews across operational sources, root-cause investigation before fixes, GDPR-compliant data handling, and automation of repeat work with Python, Power Automate, N8N and VBA. I'm looking for a Data Analyst or BI Developer role around programme assurance, governance and performance reporting.
