I am a Birmingham-based data analyst with a multidisciplinary background in data analysis, software engineering, computer science, and bioinformatics.
I recently completed an MSc in Bioinformatics with Distinction at the University of Birmingham. I also hold a Master’s degree in Software Engineering and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.
I enjoy transforming complex data into clear, practical insights that support better decisions. I recently completed a Data Technician Skills Bootcamp with Leeptalent, where I developed hands-on experience in data preparation, analysis, visualisation, modelling, and reporting using Excel, SQL, Python, Power BI, Tableau, Microsoft Azure, and GitHub.
A three-page interactive Power BI report analysing global sales, profitability, products, customers, and regional performance.
A SQL portfolio project using the MySQL World database to explore countries, cities, populations, GDP, and regional patterns through relational data analysis.
A Python data analysis project exploring GDP per capita data through data cleaning, exploratory analysis, statistical techniques, and visualisation.
MSc Bioinformatics project using Python and Nextflow to profile, map, validate, and harmonise multimodal biomedical datasets for downstream knowledge graph integration.
An interactive Tableau dashboard exploring global health inequalities and comparing patterns across countries and regions.
An Excel project demonstrating PivotTables, PivotCharts, slicers, dashboard design, and business reporting.

During my MSc in Bioinformatics, I developed automated workflows for complex biomedical data as part of a wider collaborative research project. I attended regular project meetings, communicated progress, discussed technical challenges, and agreed next steps with my supervisor and project team.
Earlier in my career, I worked as a university lecturer at Libyan International Medical University in Benghazi, where I taught programming and software-related subjects.
These experiences strengthened my:
- Analytical thinking
- Problem-solving
- Communication
- Teamwork
- Organisation
- Technical documentation
- Ability to explain complex ideas clearly
- Building and refining practical data analysis portfolio projects
- Strengthening my Python, SQL, Power BI, Tableau, and data visualisation skills
- Preparing for Data Analyst, Business Intelligence, Reporting, and Performance Analyst opportunities in the UK
I am currently seeking opportunities including:
- Data Analyst
- Junior Data Analyst
- Business Intelligence Analyst
- Reporting Analyst
- Performance Analyst
- Data Technician
I am particularly interested in roles where I can combine technical analysis, clear communication, and structured problem-solving to support evidence-based decisions.
