My personal story - Oil to Data
"Data is the new Oil."
This phrase perfectly captures the spirit of today’s digital revolution. Just as oil once fueled global progress and transformed industries, data is now the driving force-unlocking efficiencies, inspiring innovation, and enabling smarter decisions across every sector.
​
My own journey reflects this transformation. With 15 years of experience as a Drilling Specialist in the upstream Oil & Gas industry, I witnessed firsthand how “black gold” powered economies and shaped the modern world. In that high-stakes environment, I developed a keen ability to solve complex problems under pressure and came to deeply value the importance of accurate, timely information.
​
Recognizing the growing impact of data, I made a deliberate transition from oil to data-embracing the idea that data is the new gold. Today, I am passionate about exploring, visualizing, and interpreting data to uncover insights that drive real value. My strong foundation in data analytics and data science enables me to transform raw information into actionable intelligence.
​
I am proficient in SQL, Power BI, Tableau, RStudio, and Python-tools that empower me to extract, analyze, and communicate data-driven insights effectively. Just as I once navigated the depths of the earth to extract value from oil, I now delve into data to help organizations turn information into their most valuable asset.
​
Outside of work, I enjoy trekking, which fuels my passion for exploration and perseverance-qualities I bring to every data challenge. I am excited to leverage my unique blend of operational expertise and analytical skills to help organizations harness the power of data, the new gold of our era.
