Turning data into a competitive advantage

Your Name

ABOUT ME

Hi! I'm Daniel.

Driven by the transformative power of data, I'm currently pursuing a Master's in Data Science at the University of Calgary, leveraging my background in economics and business administration.

My journey is anchored in a rich professional background in finance and commodity trading, where I honed my expertise in financial analysis and operations. This blend of academic rigor and real-world experience fuels my drive to turn complex datasets into clear, actionable insights that drive decision-making and operational efficiency.

Through my proficiency in programming and quantitative analysis, I've helped companies navigate through the complexities of financial reporting, cash management, and risk assessment, transforming data into strategic assets that foster innovation and growth.

When I'm not tackling data, I'm training for races! I'm a dedicated runner and triathlete with a 3:03 marathon PR and a 12:42 Ironman 140.6 finish time. See you on the race course!

SKILLS

I bridge the gap between raw data and actionable knowledge. By leveraging my expertise in machine learning and data visualization, I help businesses unlock valuable insights that drive better results, informed decisions, and cost savings.

My technical toolkit includes SQL, R, Python, VBA, Power BI, Tableau, Azure Databricks, and Apache Spark, allowing me to tackle a wide range of data projects.
