At Accenture, I worked on global investment platforms serving 50,000+ daily users, translating 50+ complex requirements into user stories, automating 130+ Selenium and Cucumber regression tests, and leading UAT to achieve a 98% release rate. I learned the value of precision, data-driven insights, and stakeholder collaboration.

At Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, Canada, I pursued a Dual Post-Diploma Certificate in Data Analytics, Management & Leadership (Honours, 4.0 GPA) and applied that knowledge across diverse projects:

  • Built an ARIMA forecasting platform for emergency shelters in Calgary, enabling community leaders to serve vulnerable populations effectively
  • Managed change initiatives using the ADKAR framework, achieving strong stakeholder alignment
  • Conducted strategic analysis applying SWOT, PESTLE frameworks to develop data-informed business cases
  • Developed a housing market analysis dashboard providing data-driven investment insights

At Costco, Canada, I honed cross-functional collaboration and adaptability skills by coordinating operations across seven departments while serving ~600 members every hour during peak periods.


My Technical Toolkit

  • Data & Visualization: Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Excel
  • Programming & Modeling: Python, R, Jupyter, Machine Learning
  • Testing: Selenium, Manual & Automation, UAT
  • Collaboration & Strategy: JIRA, Confluence, Figma, Change Management


What I'm Looking For

I'm seeking full-time opportunities in Canada and India where I can translate complex requirements into actionable solutions, uncover insights from data, build better products, and improve systems and processes. I thrive in environments that value learning, collaboration, and measurable results. I hold a valid work permit and am authorized to work full-time in both countries.


Beyond Work

In my free time, I enjoy gaming, reading books, exploring new tech tools, working on mini side projects, and indulging my passion for cars. All of which fuel my creativity and curiosity.
