About

Profile, motivations, and what I’m aiming for

Profile

I work at the intersection of data, processes, and digital transformation, translating complex information into clear, actionable insights that support better decisions, efficiency, and customer experience. I hold a Master’s degree in Business Information Systems and bring hands-on experience in analytics (Power BI, Tableau), business process modeling (BPMN 2.0), and digital maturity assessment. Through applied project work, I’ve focused on structuring fragmented data, aligning stakeholders, and building solutions that are practical, measurable, and usable. I’m particularly interested in how digital tools create real business value by improving how organizations operate and make decisions.

Highlights

  • MSc Business Information Systems (FHNW, Switzerland)
  • Focus on Business Intelligence, Digitalization of Business Processes, Agile Business Analysis, and IT Governance.
  • Analytics & BI: Power BI, Tableau, SQL, Excel, and Orange — from data preparation to insight-driven dashboards.
  • Process & Digital Transformation: BPMN 2.0, Camunda, Make, workflow automation, KPI frameworks, and digital maturity measurement.
  • Applied project work: developed a Digital Maturity Performance Index (DMPI) linked to Net Promoter Score (NPS) to assess how digital services impact customer experience across multiple showrooms.

Motivation & Goals

My motivation is to start my professional career in Business analytics, and digital transformation, applying the skills developed during my Master’s studies to real business challenges. I’m looking for roles where I can learn through hands-on contribution—working with data, processes, and stakeholders to support informed decisions and improve operational performance. My goal is to grow into a professional who combines business understanding with analytical thinking and delivers practical, measurable impact.

Currently seeking: graduate roles, entry-level positions, and internships in the field of Business Intelligence, Data & Analytics, Operations, Digital Transformation, and Business Analysis.

Building a Personal Portfolio Website

Building a Personal Portfolio Website

Next.js · TypeScript · Tailwind · GitHub · Vercel · Swizzonic DNS

Designed, built, and deployed my personal portfolio as a scalable, recruiter-friendly site to showcase projects, education, and experience. Set up a full production workflow end-to-end—from buying and configuring the domain on Swizzonic (DNS/CNAME), to version control in GitHub and automated deployments on Vercel. Iterated through real production issues (404 routes, case-sensitive image paths, missing /public assets, deployment vs local mismatches), improved site structure with reusable project templates and dedicated pages, and created consistent placeholder imagery to keep the UI polished while content evolves.
