Pavan Battula

I am a motivated analytics professional completing my Master of Science in Analytics and Modeling at Valparaiso University in May 2025, with a solid 3.7 GPA. I bring a strong technical foundation from my Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communications Engineering and practical experience turning data into clear, actionable insights. As the job market in 2026 continues to prioritize professionals who connect analysis directly to business results, I am ready to contribute to data analyst or data science teams by helping organizations make smarter, faster decisions.

From March 2022 to January 2023, I worked as a Data Analyst at [24]7.ai in Hyderabad, India. I analyzed online sales data for Best Buy, built clear visual reports that revealed important trends and customer patterns, and documented actionable insights to support business decisions. This role strengthened my ability to work with large datasets, identify meaningful signals, and communicate findings in straightforward ways that non-technical teams could easily understand and apply.

I am proficient with today’s essential tools and languages, including Python, R, SQL, MySQL, SAS, and C. I have also completed targeted training in data modeling with Power BI (Microsoft, February 2024) and Agile project management with JIRA (Udemy, March 2024). These skills allow me to gather, clean, analyze, visualize, and present data effectively—capabilities that remain highly relevant in 2026’s data-driven workplace.

From August 2024 through May 2025, I serve as a Student Aide at Valparaiso University. I manage room setups for events, perform regular safety and security checks across buildings, and ensure facilities remain clean and well-organized. In late 2023, I held a similar Student Aide position at Parkhurst Dining, where I supported daily operations, delivered friendly customer service, and consistently followed established procedures and sanitization standards. These experiences have reinforced my reliability, attention to detail, and ability to manage multiple tasks in structured environments—qualities that support strong performance in collaborative data roles.

During my graduate studies, I developed and presented an IT Service Desk Simulation project at Valparaiso University’s Symposium in November 2023. The project modeled service interactions to improve technology support processes, demonstrating my ability to apply modeling techniques to solve real operational challenges. I was also recognized as the best performer in a large-scale log simulation team for Q4 2020 during my time associated with Cognizant.

I offer a balanced profile that combines academic preparation in analytics and modeling, hands-on data experience, and a dependable work ethic. I excel at framing problems clearly, delivering insights that matter, and collaborating effectively in team settings. I am enthusiastic about joining a forward-looking organization in 2026 to support data collection, analysis, visualization, and insight generation that drives measurable business impact.
