Summary
Business analyst with seven years reviewing claims, medical, and financial records at Sun Life, then independent BI consulting from 2022. Excel, SQL, and Power BI for recurring reports, KPI tracking, and cleaner source data. Also published two free browser tools for CSV profiling and SQL formatting, and I run a live web product on PostgreSQL.
Skills
Analysis: requirements, process improvement, KPI reporting, data quality, stakeholder reporting
Tools: Excel (Power Query, PivotTables, XLOOKUP), SQL, PostgreSQL, Power BI, Python (pandas, refresh automation)
Experience
- Built and maintained relational SQL (PostgreSQL) for 12+ client projects. Reduced manual record management by about 40%.
- Built recurring Excel reports with Power Query, PivotTables, and XLOOKUP. Often cut reporting time by about 50%.
- Combined campaign, web, and CRM style exports into one planning table so teams stopped comparing conflicting pulls.
- Found duplicate, incomplete, and inconsistent records before they hit a dashboard. Same intake problem the CSV profiler now checks in the browser.
- Published a SQL formatter and explainer so stakeholders can see tables, joins, and filters without a walkthrough.
- Reviewed 1,300+ active disability claims in Excel, Access, and enterprise claims systems. Used medical, financial, and regulatory data for eligibility and risk.
- Found discrepancies in financial and renewal data that prevented about $160K in annual overpayments.
- Wrote standard claim intake steps and documentation. Cut about $25K in annual overhead and reduced rework by 15%.
