WORK HISTORY
Data and Systems Analyst @Public & Business Services & Procurement | Services au public et aux entreprises & Approvisionnement
Toronto, ON, CA
Designed and deployed interactive Power BI dashboards for the Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program in French and in English using Power Query, DAX, and Azure DevOps for version control, improving data visualization and automating business workflows in accordance with Target State Architecture, AODA standards, and NVDA accessibility compliance.Developed a working proof of concept (POC) demonstrating how a large language model can be fine‑tuned on education‑sector data, including full ML lifecycle steps, training, testing, validation, deployment, and serving endpoint creation in Databricks and integrated the model with a chatbot using GitHub Copilot. Embedded the chatbot into Power BI and data‑collection websites to enable users to ask real‑time, context‑aware questions about displayed data and receive instant answers, improving accessibility and decision‑making.Helping in planning the migration of Data Collection ETL workflows to Ontario Data Platform (ODP), Azure Data Factory and Databricks in accordance with Target State Architecture.Designing and implementing an optimized Power BI data model for the Ontario Math Achievement Action Plan initiative to improve refresh speed, model structure, and data accuracy.Building an AI‑assisted automated documentation workflow (ongoing) for the Ontario Specialist High Skills Major (SHSM) program Power BI assets using GitHub Copilot and Azure DevOps.Collaborated with partner ministries to deliver data products meeting OPS service delivery standards and IM governance practices.Successfully participated in OPS Hackathon 2025 (Data Hero), building an end‑to‑end ML solution using Databricks, Power Apps, Selenium, and MLflow to classify procurement data into UNSPSC categories and automate real‑time/batch predictions.Promoted a collaborative, inclusive team culture through knowledge sharing, onboarding support, and participation in diversity, accessibility, and continuous learning initiatives.

ABOUT NISHIT RATHOD
I’m a Data & AI professional driven by a simple belief: technology becomes meaningful when it empowers people. Whether I’m designing multilingual Power BI dashboards that improve decision‑making for school boards, fine‑tuning large language models for real‑time analytics, or building scalable cloud systems across Azure, AWS, and GCP, my goal is always the same: turn complex data into clarity, automation, and impact.Today, I work as a Data and Systems Analyst at the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, where I blend analytics, cloud engineering, AI innovation, and user‑centric problem‑solving. I’ve delivered bilingual SHSM dashboards aligned with AODA accessibility standards, engineered AI‑assisted chatbot solutions embedded directly into Power BI, and contributed to modernizing Ontario’s data pipelines using Azure Data Factory, Databricks, and the Ontario Data Platform.I’ve built full ML lifecycle solutions, from data preparation to model training, tuning, validation, deployment, and serving endpoints, and even developed a working POC where an LLM fine‑tuned on education data powers a conversational analytics assistant inside dashboards and ministry data‑collection platforms. This work is helping shape the next generation of interactive, intelligent public‑sector analytics.My experience spans machine learning, DevOps, cloud computing, and enterprise data systems. I’ve worked across multiple ministries, delivered end‑to‑end ML solutions at the OPS Hackathon, automated documentation with GitHub Copilot, engineered scalable Kubernetes applications, configured MLOps pipelines, and optimized datasets in Databricks, Fabric, SQL Server, and beyond.Some things I love building: Data products that are accessible, multilingual, and genuinely useful Cloud‑native architectures that scale without friction AI/ML systems that make work faster, easier, and smarter Dashboards and apps that turn “data overload” into “data intuition” Automation that eliminates repetitive tasks and frees people to innovateI’m motivated by curiosity, collaboration, and a commitment to continuous learning from earning Google Cloud’s Generative AI Leader certification to mentoring peers, supporting inclusive workplace culture, and exploring new ways AI can improve public services.If you\'re passionate about AI, cloud, public-sector innovation, or data-driven problem‑solving, I’d love to connect.Let’s build what’s next.
