About

I am a data-driven analyst with a strong foundation in data analytics and business problem-solving, supported by my completion of the Certified Associate in Data Analytics under the K-Youth Development Programme (KYDP). In my current role, I apply analytics to cost and financial data, supporting areas such as PPV analysis, pricing maintenance, cash-up, balance sheet review, and operating profit tracking to ensure accurate and insightful reporting. My background includes 3+ years in Quality Assurance, where I used data, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement methodologies to drive measurable improvements and cost savings in an FMCG environment. I am particularly interested in roles that combine data analytics, finance, and operations, where structured analysis and data storytelling can support better business decisions.
