SIGNAL
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
