Data Analyst & Business Intelligence Specialist
Student passionate about AI, machine learning, and advanced data analytics dedicated to solving real-world problems and delivering measurable value through strategic, data-driven solutions.
About Me
I'm an undergraduate at California State University, Northridge, studying Computer Information Technology, with a prior foundation in Data Science from the University of Sydney. My studies integrate cloud systems, computer networks, and machine learning equipping me to solve complex problems at the intersection of business and technology.
I've built hands-on projects in Python, SQL, R, and Java, developing solutions that span from data pipelines to infrastructure automation. Alongside my technical growth, I'm deeply invested in sharpening my business acumen understanding how systems drive decisions, and how data can be used not just for insight, but to drive impact.
Looking ahead, I plan to pursue graduate studies in AI, ML, and advanced data analytics further aligning my technical skills with strategic problem-solving. I'm driven to build scalable, intelligent solutions that solve real problems, deliver measurable value, and shape how modern organizations operate.
