About Me

Balaji Devkatte

Aspiring Data Analyst

Curious about data, driven to make it useful.

I'm an aspiring Data Analyst based in Pune, currently pursuing my Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com) alongside a completed Data Analyst course covering SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Advanced Excel and Python. My interest in analytics started with a simple question — what is this data actually telling us? — and grew into a habit of pulling apart spreadsheets and databases until the story inside them becomes obvious.

I enjoy building interactive dashboards that turn messy, raw records into KPIs a business can act on, working across data cleaning, SQL querying, Power BI/Tableau modelling and visual storytelling. I'm now looking for an entry-level Data Analyst role where I can apply these skills to real business problems, bringing curiosity, attention to detail and a genuine enjoyment of dashboards to the team.

  • Bachelor of Commerce (B.Com)
