Start with My Story
Hello, you all—welcome! I’m Akshil. I found my niche where operations meets data. At Purdue’s Career Center, I worked as an Employer Relations Associate Intern, wrangling Qualtrics → Excel, cleaning the chaos, and turning it into dashboards that helped our team (and recruiters on Handshake) move faster. I loved that moment when a messy sheet becomes a clear next step. To go deeper, I pursued my M.S. in Industrial Technology & Manufacturing at Purdue University Fort Wayne and leaned into Supply Chain BI—forecasting (WMAPE, bias), KPI design, and bottleneck detection in Power BI. My style: questions before queries, KPIs before charts, automate the repetitive, tell the story simply. I’m dedicated to work that reduces noise and moves metrics—let’s see where we can go together.

Philosophy & Approach
Four principles that guide every project and decision
Ask the right questions before writing queries. Understanding the business problem is more valuable than perfect syntax.
Align every metric with business goals. If it doesn't drive decisions or outcomes, it's just noise.
Eliminate manual effort wherever possible. Time saved on routine tasks is time gained for strategic thinking.
Complex insights delivered simply beat simple insights delivered complexly. Clarity trumps cleverness.
