• Expertise in building scalable analytics and insight products (e.g., Power BI), with a good ability to translate business needs into actionable data solutions and storytelling-driven dashboards.
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and Python, including use of notebook environments to analyze data, share insights, and enable reproducible analytics workflows.
• Strong understanding of data mining techniques and data exploration across large datasets to support decision-making and uncover business opportunities.

• Experience with data engineering concepts and end-to-end data pipelines, with the ability to understand the full lifecycle from raw data sources to business insight.
• Familiarity with collaborative software engineering practices (Agile, DevOps) and data product development principles focused on iterative delivery and continuous improvement.
