Experience & education
Analyst for the French marketplace category team. I own the weekly performance report (BigQuery + Looker), run ad-hoc analyses for six category managers, and built the seller-churn alert that flags sellers whose sales drop 30% month over month.
Built and maintained the e-commerce team's Power BI reports (traffic, conversion, revenue by channel). Automated the daily sales extract with Python, which saved the team about two hours a day of manual Excel work.
Four validated projects: SQL, Python for analysis, BigQuery and GA4, Power BI.
Regional paper and office supplies sales. Consistently in the top three of the branch. Learned the business before learning the data, which is still the most useful thing on this page.

What students say.
“I started on Coursera, but what I really wanted was projects that go straight into a portfolio. This is exactly that. I have learned a lot more by shipping than I ever did watching lectures.”
“I used to send a CV and hear nothing. Now I send my portfolio link and recruiters actually respond to it. The feedback is a completely different level than with my CV alone.”
“The daily alert changed how I apply. Offers land in my inbox the day they are posted on LinkedIn, I apply while they are still fresh, and the interviews have started coming in.”
