About
I am a Computer Science Graduate and a Data Analyst dedicated to transforming complex datasets into clear, actionable business strategies. With a strong technical foundation and a background in visual communication, I specialize in the intersection of data integrity and impactful storytelling.
Throughout my professional journey, I have developed a deep expertise in identifying trends and patterns within raw data. My work is characterized by a "Data Storyteller" approach: leveraging my years of experience as a Freelance Graphic Designer to create sophisticated Data Visualizations that make technical insights accessible to all stakeholders.
A centerpiece of my analytical work is the development of BantayPahayag, a fact-checking and bias analysis application focused on Filipino journalism. This project allowed me to apply advanced research methodologies and data cleaning to solve real-world problems in the information landscape.
Core Competencies:
Data Analytics: Expert in data cleaning, trend identification, and comprehensive market research.
Technical Foundations: Proficient in Java Programming (NCIII Certified) and experienced in maintaining digital infrastructure.
Visual Communication: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and Visual Graphic Design (NCIII Certified).
Problem Solving: Proven ability to troubleshoot complex technical issues and provide streamlined IT support.
Professional Certifications: TESDA NCIII in Programming and Visual Graphic Design, and NCII in Contact Center Services.
I am passionate about using data to solve real-world problems and help organizations make informed, strategic decisions. I am currently seeking opportunities where I can contribute my analytical precision and design expertise to a forward-thinking data team.
