ABOUT ME I specialise in using data analysis, data science, and machine learning to solve practical business problems. I can work across the analytical process; from cleaning and structuring data to identifying trends and patterns, developing predictive models, creating dashboards and visualizations, and translating results into clear business insights and recommendations. With a background in Accounting and Business Administration, I bring commercial understanding alongside technical analytical skills. This helps me look beyond the numbers and consider what the analysis actually means for the business. I value accurate, well-structured analysis, attention to detail, clear communication, and solutions that are both technically sound and useful for decision-making.
