Summary

I have worked as a Data Analyst at C4NET (an Energy startup funded by the Victorian government) to deliver the Centre’s initiative project ‘electricity data service’. I reported directly to the Centre’s CEO and engaged with diverse stakeholders (government bodies and community groups) including data managers at five Electricity Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) [Worked as a subcontractor for Five Distribution networks; AusNet, CitiPower, Powercor, Jemena, and United Energy; in Victoria] to deliver EWOV (Energy Water and Ombudsman Victoria) and other data requests, evolve and optimize the service (data quality assurance and metadata management). I worked diligently to meet project milestones and addressed business problems with innovative solutions and demonstrated leadership in training and mentoring colleagues performing similar duties. I have stakeholder management experience; I interacted with stakeholders and elicited their business requirements and the purpose of the data to define use cases for project participants like Victorian electricity DNSPs and the Victorian Government. I translated these user needs/requests into executable data transformation/aggregation (technical requirements) techniques for delivery using different technologies. I have worked with MATLAB extensively.
