Hamza Zia

MSc Advanced Data Science student at the University of Exeter with hands-on experience across the data science lifecycle: cleaning and querying data in Python, Pandas and SQL, building and evaluating machine learning models, and communicating findings through clear reports, dashboards and visualisations for non-technical audiences. Currently working as a Junior Data Analyst, maintaining Power BI/Tableau reporting and resolving data quality issues at source, alongside academic work building an end-to-end computer vision pipeline for litter detection using drone imagery.

Junior Data Analyst at Fikar (2026-06 – Present)

• Query and clean production data with SQL, resolving gaps, duplicates and formatting issues into analysis-ready datasets.
• Build and maintain dashboards in Power BI and Tableau as reusable reporting tools rather than one-off outputs.
• Communicate technical findings in plain language to non-technical stakeholders so decisions get made, directly transferable to reporting on marketing, website and CRM data.

Data Science & Machine Learning Trainee at Dice Analytics (2025-02 – 2025-04)

• Collated, cleaned and analysed structured datasets using Python, pandas and SQL, then visualised trends with Matplotlib/Seaborn to support data-driven decisions, directly transferable to reviewing marketing, website and CRM data.
• Communicated technical findings through clear written reports and presentations for non-technical audiences, translating data into actionable business recommendations.
• Identified business problems and scoped them into data-driven solutions, working independently while taking ownership of each project end-to-end.
