About Me

Hi, I’m Shoaib Akthar – a data professional passionate about turning raw numbers into clear, actionable stories.

I have over 3 years of experience solving business problems through data analysis, automation, and intuitive reporting. My core strengths include building interactive dashboards, automating workflows using Python, and uncovering insights with SQL, Excel, and Power BI.

Along the way, I’ve worked on impactful analytics projects, streamlined repetitive tasks, and delivered dashboards used by leadership teams for decision-making. I enjoy challenges that require both technical acumen and business understanding.

Outside work? You’ll find me tinkering with side projects, blogging about what I learn, or exploring the next tool that can make data just a bit more beautiful.
