About Me

Professional Background

I am a passionate Data Analyst with over 5 years of experience transforming complex datasets into strategic business insights. My journey has taken me from the financial hubs of Baku, Azerbaijan to the corporate landscapes of Virginia and Texas in the United States, where I've honed my skills across diverse industries.

Throughout my career, I've specialized in financial analytics, supply chain optimization, and business intelligence. My work has directly contributed to significant business improvements, including recovering $1.5 million through Amazon shortage claims analysis, driving a 40% increase in ATM deployment through data-driven site selection, and optimizing transaction volumes by 80% through comprehensive usage pattern analysis.

Currently, I serve as a Business Analyst Expert at SOCAR Capital while pursuing my PhD in Business Management at Istanbul Gedik University. I am particularly passionate about building predictive models, creating interactive dashboards, and establishing data governance frameworks that ensure accuracy and compliance across organizations.
