I'm a senior data analyst with 8+ years turning large, messy datasets into decisions across banking, payments and platform businesses. I work primarily in SQL across BigQuery and other warehouses - writing complex queries and window functions to extract, clean and reshape data, then building the dashboards, MI and reporting that leadership acts on. I've owned analysis end-to-end, from scoping the question through to the recommendation and stakeholder sign-off; I define the metrics teams report against, run demand-forecasting and segmentation work, and mentor junior analysts. Most of my experience is in fraud and risk, but the craft is general analytics: querying, reporting, BI and turning numbers into clear decisions.
