About me

👋 Hi, I’m Ankit Malhotra—a Data Analyst dedicated to transforming data into powerful insights that drive strategic growth and efficiency. I specialize in building advanced data solutions using SQL, Python, predictive analytics, and business intelligence tools. My work has impacted organizations from fast-paced startups to established brands like Uber, where I developed and automated KPI dashboards and predictive models, reducing manual efforts and enabling data-driven decision-making.

With a strong background in ETL and data warehousing, I have extensive experience optimizing data pipelines and ensuring seamless data flows. From creating workflows in Snowflake to leveraging tools like Alteryx, Redshift, and Informatica, I bring expertise in designing systems that improve data accessibility and reliability. I’ve also worked extensively with a variety of databases, including MongoDB, PostgreSQL, Cassandra, and MySQL, each adding a layer to my ability to manage and analyze data across diverse environments.


Currently pursuing my MS in Business Analytics at UC Riverside, I am a Beta Gamma Sigma honoree and serve as a Graduate Ambassador. As the President of the Programming Club, I have led initiatives to foster collaboration and innovation among peers, further refining my leadership and analytical skills.

💻 My projects reflect my commitment to impactful solutions, from developing a customer churn prediction model for telecoms to creating FinAI, an AI-based financial news tool aimed at simplifying investment decisions. With each project, I aim to push the boundaries of what data can do in practical, real-world scenarios.
Outside of work, you’ll find me immersed in personal projects, exploring the latest in machine learning, playing the guitar, or enjoying a good gaming session. Let’s connect and discuss how we can use data to solve complex business challenges together!
