Data Analyst | Business Analyst with 7.10 years of experience delivering scalable, data-driven insights across finance, e-commerce, and security domains.Currently working as a Business Analyst at J.P. Morgan, where I build analytics frameworks that enable leadership to make accurate, timely, and confident decisions.My core strength lies in advanced SQL development—including complex joins, subqueries, CTEs, window functions, and query optimization—to analyze large-scale datasets and support both strategic and operational analytics. I work extensively with AWS-based data lakes, performing data validation, reconciliation, and quality checks to ensure consistency and reliability across multiple source systems.I design and deliver end-to-end BI solutions, from requirements gathering and KPI framework definition to data modeling and dashboard development using Tableau, Looker, Excel, and Salesforce. My dashboards focus on performance tracking, trend analysis, and actionable insights that help stakeholders monitor business health and identify improvement opportunities.Beyond analytics delivery, I actively contribute to data governance initiatives, including dashboard recertification, lineage validation, and decommissioning redundant reports to improve data trust and platform performance. I also handle ad-hoc analytical deep dives, transforming raw data into clear insights that directly support business decisions.I am comfortable working in Agile environments, collaborating with engineering, product, and business teams using JIRA, and translating complex business problems into scalable, technically sound analytics solutions.Driven by a strong focus on data accuracy, performance, and insight generation, I continuously adopt modern analytics tools and best practices to deliver high-impact BI solutions.Core Skills:SQL (CTEs, Window Functions, Optimization)| Python | Tableau | Looker | Excel | AWS | Data Lake | Salesforce | Data Modeling | KPI Frameworks | Dashboard Architecture | Data Validation | Data Governance | Agile | JIRA
