Glimpse About Me

I am an MBA + Master of Decision Analytics candidate with a Mechanical Engineering foundation, building my career at the intersection of analytics, digital marketing, and operations — with my eyes set on Dubai, where growth meets discipline.

I work at the intersection of operations improvement, lean analytics, and data-driven decision making. My approach is direct: map the process, find what slows it, and build the reporting that drives action. I have studied value streams across manufacturing environments, built KPI dashboards, and applied structured problem-solving to real operational challenges.

My foundation is Mechanical Engineering, deepened by a Six Sigma Green Belt certification and dual graduate degrees in Lean Operations and Decision Analytics. I see patterns in processes, find signal in data, and turn both into decisions that move the needle.
