About Shazad Ahmed
With over 14 years of experience in data science, analytics, and global health, I specialize in bridging the gap between raw data and real-world impact. My tech stack includes PowerBI, Excel, SQL, R, Python, Snowflake, BigQuery and more, with a strong focus on making data-driven decisions in high-stakes environments. I understand the critical role of data in shaping policy, optimizing resources, and improving outcomes. Beyond technical skills, I bring a strategic mindset and the ability to communicate complex insights to stakeholders at all levels. I’ve led teams, optimized workflows, advised senior leadership and built solutions that enhanced operational efficiency and decision-making abilities. Here are some top achievements from my career:* Developed 100+ interactive dashboards across PowerBI, Tableau, RStudio, and Excel, enabling real-time data analysis and improving decision-making for senior leadership.* Designed and implemented end-to-end data pipelines for the Peace Corps Health portfolio, transforming newly deployed CRM data into gold-layer datasets that powered the agency’s first Power BI dashboards and enabled leadership to make data-driven decisions.* Led senior analyst teams to optimize data operations, achieving 10–20% faster processing, reducing management steps by 60%, and implementing robust QA/QC protocols that strengthened data integrity across projects.* Spearheaded RStudio and Power BI training initiatives, equipping colleagues across 20+ countries with advanced analytics and data visualization skills, driving a culture of data-informed decision-making.
