Data Analyst & Analytics Consultant

Turning raw data into clear, actionable stories.

I collect, clean, analyse and visualise data so product, operations and leadership teams can make confident, strategic decisions.

From basic status reporting to advanced analytics and predictive models – I build end-to-end solutions that teams actually use.

Core tools SQL · Power BI · Tableau · GA4 · Python · Snowflake · Google BigQuery
Focus Strategy, solutions, UX/UI, process improvement, advanced analytics & predictive modelling

Data in → decisions out

Examples from my work in credit card analytics, retail sales, Covid-19 reporting, telecom churn, marketing experiments and data quality pipelines.

Real-world analytics projects
How I work with data

I support every step of the analytics lifecycle – from capturing the right data, to process improvement in pipelines, to UX/UI-friendly dashboards and communication with stakeholders.

📥

Discover & Collect

I start with the questions and decisions that matter, then map the data we have and the data we need – making sure the basics are captured correctly.

  • Data discovery across SQL, spreadsheets, GA4 and other tools
  • Basic statistics, data profiling and quality checks
  • Defining events, metrics and tracking plans
⚙️

Model & Analyse

Using SQL, Python and cloud warehouses, I build reliable models and analyses that stand up to scrutiny and can be reused by the wider team.

  • Data modelling in PostgreSQL, Snowflake and BigQuery
  • Advanced analytics: segmentation, cohort analysis & forecasting
  • Predictive models where they add clear business value
📊

Visualise & Communicate

I design UX/UI-friendly dashboards and reports that make complex statistics easy to understand and act on, for both technical and non-technical audiences.

  • Power BI & Tableau dashboards with clear status indicators
  • Accessibility, UX/UI and storytelling best practices
  • End-to-end delivery with stakeholder workshops and training
About me

A data analyst who loves pairing solid statistics with clean UX/UI and clear communication – so data becomes a strategic asset, not just a report.

I’m Likhith, a consulting-style data analyst with experience across credit cards, banking and hospitality. I specialise in building end-to-end analytics solutions: from defining what to measure and capturing the data, to advanced analytics, predictive models and dashboards that are easy for stakeholders to use.

My work blends strategy, statistics and design. I’m comfortable speaking with both engineering and business teams, turning their questions into data models and visual stories. I spend a lot of time on process improvement – simplifying pipelines, improving data quality and making sure metrics stay consistent across reports.

Day-to-day, I work with SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, GA4, Snowflake and Google BigQuery. I care about accessibility, UX/UI for dashboards, and basic to advanced analytics that genuinely support decisions. The outcome I aim for is simple: clear status, shared understanding and collaborative decisions that move the business forward.

  • Master of Science in Computer Science University of New Haven – New Haven, CT, USA Graduate studies with a strong focus on data analysis, software engineering and using data to design practical, business-focused solutions.
  • Bachelor of Technology in Computer Science K L University – Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, India Built a solid foundation in computer science, programming and quantitative thinking, which I now apply to real-world analytics projects.

What it’s like to work with me

I like to keep things collaborative and pragmatic. My typical projects look like:

  • 1. Clarify the decision Align on the question, success metrics and who will use the output – strategy before SQL.
  • 2. Build the data foundation Integrate sources, improve process, add data quality checks and document the logic.
  • 3. Design UX/UI & visuals Create dashboards with clear status, intuitive layouts and accessibility in mind.
  • 4. Communicate & iterate Walk stakeholders through insights, gather feedback and iterate until it feels natural for them.
