Akila Balasubramaniam

I'm an aspiring Data Analyst with a flair for translating raw data into actionable insights. My journey began as an application developer at the World Bank, crafting custom applications using VB.NET and Oracle for the Data Science team. This experience ignited my passion for data analysis, leading me to step into senior roles supporting reporting applications, focusing on SQL Server and ensuring seamless data processing. Throughout my career, I've been the backbone of data science applications, guaranteeing no glitches in daily or monthly data loads, and consistently meeting SLA standards. 

My expertise lies in SQL Analytics, Python Data Analytics and Tableau reporting. I thrive on challenges and take pride in my problem-solving abilities, making me an effective backend support engineer. My technical forte is SQL, complemented by strong communication skills. I excel in delivering insights as well as meeting service-level agreements, and I have a keen interest in Business Analysis. Although I haven't worked on recent projects, my analytical skills remain sharp, ready to unravel relevant insights for effective decision-making. 

Beyond the professional realm, I've delved into bio-medical and nutrition and dietetics courses during a career break, showcasing my commitment to self-improvement. I'm an avid reader, attend classes in functional medicine, and embrace spirituality and meditation regularly. In the fast-paced world of analytics, I look forward to contributing to a dynamic team, honing my skills in SQL, Python, Tableau, and Excel.
