I am an accomplished data analyst with more than 10+ years of experience in data analysis and reporting helping businesses make stronger decisions with their data. I have worked in both Financial companies like ADP and a few years in the Mortgage Industry. Check out my portfolio below on some analytics I have done. Whether you need help with creating powerful dashboards using any visualization product such as Power BI, Microsoft Reporting Services, Tableau, or Excel, or you need to clean your data, I will be your go-to person. Reliable and excellent communication and leadership skills, with a track record of successful project management and team collaboration. ⭐ Why you should choose me over other freelancers ⭐ ✅ Past Reviews: I put 100% focus on the quality of work I provide to my clients and aim to earn their trust. ✅ Over-delivering: This is one of my weaknesses. I tend to over-deliver and make sure the client is satisfied with my work as a freelancer. ✅ Responsiveness: Being on top of my communication and being extremely open with my clients. ✅ Resilience: reach out to any of my current or former clients and ask them about my resilience. ✅ Kindness: I make sure I treat all my clients the way I want to be treated, with respect and understanding, aiming to improve my client's work. Working with me, you will ✅ Stop struggling with data that's not telling a story ✅ Get analytics of your data including clean graphs and KPIs that would help you make quick decisions just by looking at it. ✅ Get to understand your data better ✅ Get a report that's built once and can be set up for refresh daily thus saving you money. 🏆 Reviews and feedback from clients 🏆 Below are my client testimonials describing the work and value you should expect from me. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Issak Dure is an exceptional Power BI Data Analyst whose work consistently exceeded our expectations.

He was a true asset to our team and I highly recommend him for any Power BI data analysis work."- David P. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I had the pleasure if working with Issak at AAG for a couple of years after he was hired as a new member of the team. Issak stood out from the rest of the candidates interviewing for the same position with his technical capabilities, analytical thought and communication skills. Once hired, he quickly came up to speed by learning about the business and becoming an expert BI developer. Issak's ability to not only develop and deliver high quality analytical reports but also interface with various business teams to iterate and build requirements for report development made him an invaluable asset to the team.
