Usama Ikhlaq

I am a data and IT professional with 10+ years experience in analytics, machine learning, server management, and research. I help clients turn raw data into clear insights, dashboards, predictions, and simple explanations that support better decisions

I work with Python, R, SQL, Excel, Tableau, Power BI, NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Keras, Hadoop, Hive, Elasticsearch, and Spark. I handle full data workflows, including cleaning, processing, modelling, automation, and visualisation.

My background includes practical IT experience supported by Microsoft certifications (MCSE, MCSA, MCITP). I have worked with servers, virtual machines, networking, Linux systems, and troubleshooting. This allows me to support technical projects as well as data-focused work.

During my research experience in Ireland, Italy, and Germany, I developed structured methods for analysing large datasets. This work led to three Innovation Licences, recognising original techniques for data processing and predictive modelling. These methods help me design solutions that are reliable, scalable, and easy to apply to real-world problems.

I have worked on projects ranging from sentiment analysis, recommender systems, and intelligent automation to precision agriculture and social-media analytics. I also prepare clear reports, documentation, and academic writing when needed.

I focus on simple communication, quick delivery, and reliable results. Whether you need clean datasets, dashboards, predictions, automation, IT support, or research assistance, I can help deliver a clear and ready-to-use solution for your project.
