Mohamad Abdullghani
Data Analyst | Turning Numbers into Insights
I'm a Senior Data Analyst with over 8 years of experience, fueled by a passion for transforming data into solutions that drive impact. Armed with expertise in SQL, R, and Python, I uncover insights that power data-driven decision-making, enhance operational efficiency, and optimize processes. From building dynamic dashboards to automating workflows with Python scripts, I thrive on delivering actionable strategies that improve performance—whether it's refining risk frameworks or empowering operational teams with clear, practical insights. My knack for collaboration ensures complex findings resonate with diverse stakeholders, bridging the gap between technical depth and real-world results.
Outside of data, I'm an active enthusiast who loves smashing it on the tennis court, cutting through the water with a swim, or crafting something new as a woodworking beginner. I'm fascinated by AI's transformative potential, often digging into its technical intricacies. You'll also find me cheering for FC Barcelona, where I blend my love for soccer with a technical eye—analyzing plays and strategies like a game within a game. That same curiosity, precision, and energy drives everything I do, from boosting operational performance to perfecting my next woodworking project.
