Summary

I am an experienced Data Specialist with a strong background in Python, SQL, R, and data visualization tools such as Tableau and Power BI. At Wipro, where I worked as a Data Specialist from August 2019 to May 2022, I led end-to-end data migration and transformation projects for clients including Woolworths and Samsung. I utilized SQL for advanced data extraction and loading, while Python (pandas) was employed for comprehensive data wrangling, transformation, and real-time processing. My role involved developing and implementing automated data pipelines and creating dynamic dashboards and visualizations with Tableau and Power BI, enhancing data-driven decision-making and operational efficiency.

My expertise in integrating diverse data sources, optimizing data models, and solving complex data challenges has consistently driven transformative outcomes. Committed to continuous learning and thriving in dynamic environments, I am passionate about leveraging my skills to make a positive impact on innovative projects. Outside of work, I enjoy watching and playing football and cricket.
