Experience

Five roles, three industries, one habit: check every number back to source.

Jan – Feb 2026Auburn Hills, MI

Business Intelligence & Data Analyst

Stellantis (Contract via Methodica Technologies)

Contract BI analyst supporting global Propulsion Systems leadership across international operations.

  • Leadership ran weekly reviews off scattered SAP extracts and Excel files. Built the executive Power BI dashboards that joined them into one view of operational KPIs and project status, and that view became the standing basis for the weekly review.
  • Supplier spend sat in SAP MM pricing data that nobody was comparing across suppliers. Developed the supplier value optimization reports that put those prices side by side, surfacing savings across the supply base.
  • Program slips used to surface at the deadline. Tracked program KPIs, milestones and trends weekly, so leadership saw a slip while there was still time to do something about it.
  • Global engineering and program stakeholders each wanted something different from the same data. Gathered the requirements and turned them into report specs, so reporting got built once instead of reworked per team.
  • The recurring Excel reports were assembled by hand every week, eating analyst time and inviting copy-paste errors. Automated them with validation checks built in, cutting production time while keeping the numbers accurate.

Data Analyst

Methodica Technologies

Analyst on a digital-simulation platform delivery, owning data validation and predictive monitoring.

  • Platform incidents were being caught after the fact. Built Grafana dashboards on InfluxDB with automated alert workflows, so the team saw failures in real time instead of hearing about them later.
  • Ambiguous requirements were driving rework across the delivery. Documented them in Visure ALM and built full traceability between requirement, test and result, which tightened scope and cut the back-and-forth.
  • Leadership reporting was only as good as the data feeding it. Owned that gate: SQL (BigQuery), Python and Excel validation ahead of every report, plus the written playbooks the project was later audited against. When anomalies did surface, troubleshot them to root cause and tracked the fixes in JIRA.
  • Automated test runs were generating far more data than anyone was reviewing. Wrote the 13 dashboard requirements and built the Grafana views behind them, so execution health, errors by exception type and system utilization read from one screen.

Graduate Teaching Assistant, Data Analytics

Walsh College

Teaching assistant for the graduate data-analytics program.

  • Graduate students could run the tools but their analyses often stopped at the output. Coached cohorts through hands-on Python, R, Power BI and Tableau work, pushing each project to a conclusion someone could act on.
  • The gap that held most students back was communication, not code. Spent the bulk of the coaching on explaining an analysis to a non-technical audience, the skill that decides whether the work gets used.
  • The role ran across the fall and winter terms alongside a full MS course load: often teaching a method the same week it came due in coursework, which sharpened both sides of the desk.
  • Dashboard critique was the most common ask. Reviewed student Power BI and Tableau builds and showed how chart choice and layout change what a stakeholder takes away from the same numbers.

Jan – Aug 2024Pune, India

Data Analyst

Bright Consultancy Services

Consulting analyst running several client engagements in parallel.

  • Clients needed forward projections they could plan against with confidence. Built the Python and SQL forecasting models that filled that gap, and client planning teams used them to set their plans.
  • Client planning cycles dragged because the reporting behind them was slow to assemble. Designed star-schema Power BI dashboards with DAX measures that put the numbers in front of planners faster, shortening the cycle.
  • Running several engagements in parallel left no room for manual refreshes. Standardized the recurring reporting pipelines with scheduled refresh, so every client got current numbers without analyst hours behind each report.
  • Parallel engagements multiplied the chances for a bad number to reach a client. Built validation rules into every scheduled refresh, so errors were caught in the pipeline instead of in a client meeting.

Jan 2020 – Dec 2023Belagavi, India

Data Analyst, Construction Operations

Shree Samarth Constructions (family business)

First analytics hire for the family construction business, building the function from zero.

  • The business tracked multi-project construction on paper and phone calls. Designed the MySQL databases and the intake routine that turned daily site updates into structured, queryable data.
  • Numbers in a database still were not decisions. Built the Power BI dashboards for resource, budget and progress tracking on top of it, and management started planning from them.
  • Cost overruns used to be found after the money was spent. Compared budget against actual spend by project, flagging variances early enough for managers to act on them.
  • Materials were bought reactively, so sites ran out or over-ordered. Implemented consumption forecasting with automated reorder workflows, which cut material waste and kept deliveries on schedule.

Case studies

The question, the method, and what the numbers said.

Office vs remote, mean score
OfficeRemote

QM 600 · Walsh College · 2025 · team of 3

Remote work and productivity

The remote-vs-office debate ran on anecdotes, so the team tested it: NSW remote-work surveys (3,019 responses) plus a 1,000-worker dataset. Remote workers scored higher on productivity and well-being (p < 0.0001), but remote share alone explained little (R² ≈ 0.02), so the call was a structured hybrid model.

Six Sigma on a pizza line

890 errors in 3,000 orders needed a root cause. X̄–R charts showed crust thickness in control, so the defects were in order-taking: two error types made up 78% of errors at 49,444 DPMO. Fix: address validation and time-stamping at the POS.

Do loyalty programs lift retail sales?

A retailer cannot casually A/B test a loyalty program, so the design had to stand on its own. Designed the study (survey, n = 384 via Cochran's formula, paired t-test and regression) and tested it on simulated store data: +20.7% mean monthly sales, p < 0.01.

Predicting drinking-water potability

Can nine lab measurements flag unsafe water? Compared eight scikit-learn classifiers on 3,276 samples. Best model (SVM) reached 67% against a 61% baseline; features barely correlate with potability (|r| ≤ 0.04), which caps any model. GitHub

Dempster Designs · Bloomfield Hills, MI · 2026

Website redesign for a 60-year sign company

The company's site no longer matched six decades of work. Built a five-page redesign prototype (HTML, CSS, vanilla JS) with services, story, a 36-photo gallery and contact from the client's own copy and photos, and presented it to the owner.

Artist site prototype for The Blue Guitar

The label needed one place where listeners stream and supervisors license. Built a catalogue prototype with 30-second previews, "listen on" links to the major platforms and a licensing section for film and TV, presented as a client preview.

Growth plans for both brands

  • Streaming-first release plan for the label, built on researched 2026 platform pay rates, payout timing and rights registration.
  • Marketing plan for the sign business anchored in an ROI model and break-even analysis, with tiered budgets across local search, social and paid media.
  • One shared social workflow (content calendar, scheduling and a monthly performance scorecard) with separate strategies and voices per brand.
  • Delivered as two written proposals and two decks, presented to the owner.
