About Me

Hi, I am a dedicated data analyst with a strong foundation in data science and analytics, currently contributing to the Department of Education and Workplace Relations (DEWR). I specialize in applying statistical modelling, machine learning, data wrangling, exploratory data analysis and data visualisation to uncover insights that drive policy development and strategic decision-making. My experience includes creating useable datasets, developing predictive models for large datasets, and building interactive dashboards to communicate insights effectively.

With a Master of Data Science from the University of Canberra (Nov 2023, GPA: 7/7) and recognition through the Dean’s Excellence Awards, I have demonstrated a commitment to learning advanced data science techniques. Combined with over 25 years of experience in telecom network optimization, data analytics, and project management, I bring a strong background of technical and analytical expertise to solve complex problems and provide practical business solutions.

Throughout my career, I’ve learned that teamwork and communication are as important as technical skills. Whether collaborating with colleagues, explaining or presenting complex concepts to diverse audiences, or mentoring others, I’ve consistently aimed to engage effectively with stakeholders and make a meaningful impact.

Dedicated to further learning, I continually enhance my skills through certifications, courses, and personal projects. I invite you to look at a sample of my recent work on the Projects page.

Looking ahead, I am committed to advancing my career in data analytics and machine learning, and I am excited to explore challenging opportunities where I can effectively contribute my skills and experience.
