Skills
Analysis Software (SPSS, SSAS, Minitab, Matlab & Excel)
I have a great comprehension of statistical and mathematical programs, which have been vital throughout my degree and are critical in my professional work. Studying the methods a software application offers prior to in depth analysis, I ensure suitable techniques are applied based on the data available.

Business Inligence Software (SQL Server, MySQL & SSRS)
Essential in my daily role as a Business Inligence Developer, providing and displaying data insights as well as making necessary modifications to data tables through T-SQL commands.

Data Mining (Binary Logistic Regression, Decision Tree Analysis, Data Clustering & Neural Networks)
Experience in researching and implementing data mining models, creating data driven recommendations for a variety of departments within a business. This includes in depth testing to ensure model overfitting is minimised and performance is more likely to be maintained when applied to future data.

My role consisted of investigating and explaining the statistical methods appropriate for the data available, so that an in house solution could be provided. This included test statistics, confidence intervals, minimum sample sizes and the statistical interpretations of results.



Written Communication
I have strong written communication skills which were enhanced by regularly writing investigative reports during my university degree and are continually improved in my work. After carrying out robust data analysis, for areas such as personalised recommendation systems, I compile results into an informative report where conclusions are displayed in a clear and concise manner ensuring the reader, regardless of statistical background, can understand my findings.

Verbal Communication
Crucial in my role heading the business inligence support team at Sykes Holiday Cottages, where I ana-lyse and plan project requests with colleagues on a regular basis. Focus is placed on creating an optimal solution that meets project requirements whilst taking into consideration time and resource limitations.
