Melbourne — Data Analyst

Numbers should tell
stories, not just sit there.

Five years running hospitality floors taught me that the best decisions happen when data and context arrive together. Now I build the tools that make that possible.

F1 Race Analytics

A SQL portfolio built across 31 queries in 6 sections — performance analysis, head-to-head driver stats, circuit breakdowns, and season trends. The goal was demonstrating practical SQL fluency on a dataset I actually care about.

Restaurant Insights Dashboard

Most small restaurants run on gut feel because proper analytics tools cost money they don't have. This is a free Power BI dashboard designed for operators with no data team — just a POS export and 20 minutes.

Built on 626k+ synthetic rows covering revenue, covers, item performance, and time-of-day patterns. Star schema data model, DAX measures, Power Query ETL, published to Power BI Service.

🔧 Currently building — the finished dashboard will be linked here when published.
