ABOUT HARSHITHA KOTAGIRI
I’m a computer science–driven data professional who enjoys working with combinations — combining software engineering with analytics, enterprise systems with data visualization, and technical rigor with real-world business workflows.My experience spans analytics engineering, data engineering, and enterprise systems, with hands-on work across Workday, UKG (Kronos), SAP, and banking platforms. I work extensively with SQL, Python, and advanced Excel to analyze datasets, automate validation checks, and support reporting and go-live readiness. I’ve built and supported ETL workflows using tools such as Informatica, and worked with relational databases including MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.I’ve contributed to enterprise go-lives (multiple waves) and organizational reorgs, where data accuracy, system stability, and cross-team collaboration are critical. My background includes developing and validating dashboards and reports using Power BI, Tableau, MicroStrategy, SSRS, and Excel, and supporting regulated environments in both banking (disputes & transactions) and healthcare HR systems.I’m comfortable working in Agile environments, using tools like Jira to track requirements, defects, and delivery milestones, and collaborating closely with engineering, analytics, HR, and compliance teams.What excites me most is connecting systems end-to-end — from data ingestion and transformation to analytics, visualization, and operational impact. I’m particularly interested in roles at the intersection of Analytics Engineering, Data Visualization, Software Engineering, and Enterprise Systems.
