About
My background combines Management Information Systems with hands-on accounting work in Egypt and the UAE. That experience gave me a practical view of reporting, reconciliation, cost control, and the importance of accurate source data.
I am now focused on data analysis and business intelligence: defining useful questions, checking data quality, building clear models, and presenting findings in a form that supports decisions.
The projects in this portfolio document that direction through Power BI operational reporting and Excel sales analysis. I am continuing to develop SQL and Python as supporting skills while seeking a Data Analyst opportunity in the UAE.
Understand the question, validate the data, and communicate only what the evidence supports.

Professional Philosophy
Start with what the data can support and make uncertainty visible.
A dashboard earns its place by improving a decision, not by looking busy.
Good reporting reduces ambiguity and directs attention to what matters.
Trust in the final number begins with definitions, relationships, and traceability.
