I translate ambiguous business questions into quantified outcomes.

M.S. Data Analytics Engineering at Northeastern, with a Computer Science backbone from Mumbai. My work sits at the intersection where stakeholder questions become SQL queries, where dashboards become operating decisions, and where models become cost reductions on a P&L.

Last summer at AstraZeneca’s Alexion, I built a Snowflake usage dashboard that drove a 15% cloud cost reduction and replaced manual reporting across two teams — cutting validation effort by 80%. I co-led a GenAI rollout that reached ~200 employees.

I work fluently across Power BI, SQL, Python, DAX, and modern GenAI tooling. I write code, but my real product is decisions: faster, sharper, and grounded in evidence.

The role is changing.
I’m built for what comes next.

● BRIEFING
SOURCE: PUBLIC INTEL
DATED: 2026 Q2
CLEARANCE: OPEN
SIGNAL_01 // AGENTIC_ANALYTICS

AI agents now offload 30–40% of routine BA work

Microsoft Copilot, Power BI Copilot, and emerging agentic systems are absorbing the grunt of requirements drafting, data prep, and first-pass analysis. The valuable work shifts upstream: framing the question and downstream: judging the answer.

30–40% routine tasks automated
// MEHTA STANCE I co-led GenAI rollout at Alexion and design dashboards Copilot can extend, not replace. I treat agents as reach amplifiers, not threat vectors.
SIGNAL_02 // SELF_SERVICE_ASCENT

By 2026, 90% of analytics consumers can generate their own content

Natural language querying (Copilot, ThoughtSpot) collapses the “ticket-an-analyst” pattern. The analyst’s value moves to governance, semantic modeling, and trust — making the self-serve layer correct by construction.

90% consumers self-generating
// MEHTA STANCE My 80% validation-effort win at Alexion wasn’t just a dashboard — it was a self-service substrate. That mindset is what 2026 BI demands.
SIGNAL_03 // FABRIC_CONVERGENCE

Microsoft Fabric is now the default enterprise BI stack

Fabric + OneLake + Power BI Copilot has consolidated what used to be three or four tools into one governed surface. Snowflake remains a key warehouse, but Fabric reshapes how Power BI analysts ship.

$420B market trajectory by 2027
// MEHTA STANCE Power BI + Snowflake + DAX is my native habitat. Migrating that fluency into Fabric is a reading, not a rewrite.
SIGNAL_04 // STORYTELLING_PREMIUM

Communication now ranks equal to technical skill in BA postings

Presentation skills appear in 14%+ of analyst postings. As tooling democratizes raw analysis, the differentiator becomes turning evidence into a decision a VP will sign. The narrative wins.

1:1 tech : comms weight
// MEHTA STANCE I co-presented at a 200-person GenAI event and translate analytics for both Finance and IT stakeholders. Storytelling is in the muscle, not the resume.
SIGNAL_05 // PREDICTIVE_DEFAULT

Forecasting is the new minimum, not a flex

“What happened” dashboards no longer cut it. Modern BAs are expected to ship scenario analysis, demand forecasts, and risk simulations as a baseline — with predictive AI threaded into the BI layer itself.

+40% Mehta forecast accuracy
// MEHTA STANCE Holiday Horizons shipped a 40% lift in travel demand forecasting. I treat predictive as part of the BI deliverable, not a separate workstream.
SIGNAL_06 // GOVERNANCE_RISES

AI governance is the fastest-growing BA adjacency

As GenAI and agentic systems enter analytics workflows, employers want analysts who can frame data lineage, model risk, and decision auditability. This is where former “just-the-dashboard” roles graduate into trusted advisory work.

3 / 3 Alexion pain points framed
// MEHTA STANCE At Alexion I used abstraction-ladder analysis to surface 3 high-impact operational pain points — a governance-grade habit, applied early.
