About Upma K.

Data & BI Analyst with 10+ years of experience transforming raw data into actionable insights that drive business decisions. I combine deep SQL expertise, data modeling, and visualization skills with a business analyst background — giving me the rare ability to understand what the data means and why it matters to stakeholders. I\'ve built end-to-end analytics solutions across retail and sportswear industries — from architecting data pipelines and supporting cloud migrations (Azure Synapse → Snowflake) to developing Power BI dashboards that surface KPIs for operations, supply chain, and executive teams. Core skills & tools: SQL (T-SQL, Oracle, Snowflake, PL/SQL) & query optimization Power BI — dashboards, DAX measures, data modeling ETL/ELT — SSIS, Azure Data Factory, Snowflake pipelines Cloud platforms — Azure Synapse, Snowflake, AWS Python (pandas, numpy) for data wrangling & automation Data quality, validation & root cause analysis REST APIs & JSON for data integration Agile delivery — sprint planning, stakeholder reporting Excel — pivot tables, Power Query, advanced formulas I\'m passionate about data quality, clean pipelines, and building dashboards that people actually use. I bring a consultative approach — asking the right questions to understand the business goal before writing a single query.
