Data Analyst & Analytics Engineer · MSc Artificial Intelligence

I build the pipelines, models, and dashboards that turn messy operational data into decisions leadership can trust — from raw source to boardroom KPI.

About

From raw data to decisions that ship

I'm a Data Analyst and Analytics Engineer with an MSc in Artificial Intelligence and 4+ years of professional experience — including 2+ years building ELT/ETL pipelines, dimensional data models, and Power BI dashboards across the modern data stack: dbt, Airflow, Microsoft Fabric, and Snowflake.

I have a proven track record of automating reporting workflows (~40% effort reduction), orchestrating reliable daily data pipelines, and delivering analytics-ready datasets that drive senior stakeholder decision-making.

What sets my work apart is the full-stack view: I don't just build dashboards — I own the pipeline behind them, from ingestion and modelling through data quality tests, governance, and the final semantic layer stakeholders actually use.

Data and Operations Analyst

May 2023 – Mar 2026

JKSR Trading LimitedDublin, Ireland

  • Automated Reporting Pipeline: Replaced manual weekly reporting across 3 retail locations with an automated Power BI and Microsoft Fabric solution — cutting reporting effort by ~40% and enabling real-time KPI visibility
  • Analytics-Ready Data Modelling: Engineered dbt Core pipelines (staging to mart layers) for retail sales and inventory data, implementing automated data quality tests
  • Reliable Daily Data Refreshes: Orchestrated scheduled ETL workflows using Apache Airflow — DAGs with task dependencies, retries, and failure alerting
  • Centralised Data Warehouse: Migrated cleaned data into Snowflake, writing SQL queries and views as the single source of truth for downstream Power BI reporting
  • Forecasting & Trend Prediction: Built forecasting and trend prediction scripts in Python to support demand planning and inventory decisions
  • Root Cause & Governance: Investigated data issues to identify root causes, maintained data integrity standards and audit-ready documentation
  • Stakeholder Collaboration: Partnered with operations and business teams to translate requirements into analytical tasks
