I am Manish Dafauti, a results-driven Data Analyst and Business Intelligence Specialist with a strong foundation in data analytics, international business, and strategic decision-making. With expertise in SQL, Power BI, Tableau, Python, and Excel, I excel at transforming complex datasets into actionable insights that drive business growth, optimize decision-making, and enhance operational efficiency.
I hold a Graduate Certificate in Data Analytics for Business Decision Making from Durham College, where I gained hands-on experience in predictive analytics, data visualization, and statistical modeling. My ability to collect, clean, and interpret large datasets allows me to identify key trends and support data-driven strategies. Additionally, I have earned a Graduate Certificate in International Business Management, equipping me with an in-depth understanding of global markets, trade relations, and economic policies. This combination of business acumen and technical proficiency enables me to provide well-rounded insights into both market trends and operational performance.
My professional experience spans across customer-facing and analytical roles, including my tenure as an Associate at Dollarama and Customer Service Representative at Tim Hortons. These roles honed my ability to work under pressure, manage large-scale transactions, and analyze business performance metrics to improve customer satisfaction and operational processes. I leveraged data-driven decision-making to optimize workflows, improve efficiency, and support strategic initiatives.
A key highlight of my analytics expertise is my project on food inflation in Canada, where I analyzed 15+ datasets to assess the impact of rising prices on consumer behavior and retail strategies. Using ETL processes and interactive dashboards in Power BI and Tableau, I identified key patterns and provided strategic recommendations for pricing optimization and customer retention.
I am also certified in Operations Analytics from Coursera, demonstrating my ability to optimize business operations through data-driven methodologies. My passion for business intelligence, risk assessment, and process improvement makes me an ideal candidate for roles in analytics, financial insights, and global strategy.
Currently, I am seeking opportunities as a Data Analyst, Business Analyst, or Risk Analyst, where I can apply my technical expertise, business strategy skills, and analytical mindset to solve complex business challenges. My ability to bridge the gap between data and decision-making allows me to add value in any dynamic, fast-paced environment.
I am eager to contribute my skills to a forward-thinking organization and collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive innovation, efficiency, and data-driven success.
