Hi, I'm Diana!

Data Scientist, Data Analyst, BI Developer, Project Manager

About me

I am fascinated with data and its endless possibilities and I feel true excitement for what humankind can accomplish through the power of data and technology. My data journey started as a BI Developer. With every new client and project I saw how transformative it was for them to make data-driven decisions and relay on the technology solutions I helped creating. Through the years I've gotten other interests, but never stopped learning. In more recent years, witnessing the innovative and impactful applications of modern data algorithms and models I ventured to improve my skillset by doing a Masters in Analytics. I like cooking (asian food is my favorite), traveling (and finding off-the-path spots) and enjoying the outdoors.
