I am a Data Scientist & Data Analyst eager to take on new challenges in the field. I believe this role aligns well with my background and the direction I want to grow professionally. In my current role as Data Scientist at Handelsbanken, one of Sweden´s largest banks, I use Python and SQL to develop data-driven insights and models. Over the past 4 years, I have worked on projects ranging from transaction analysis and CLV modeling to personalized offers helping the bank to improve customer engagement and decision-making. My role has challenged me to independently design innovative solutions and successfully overcome technical and organizational blockers to ensure timely delivery. Explore new data domains and testing new methodologies such as LLMs are a natural part of my everyday work. I hold a Master´s degree in Sociotechnical Systems Engineering form Uppsala University. I have applied machine learning to real-world challenges in manufacturing industries, including the development of Power BI reports that streamlined analyses and improved business insights for Kinnarps and Sandvik. I also have consulting experience as a project manager using Microsoft technologies for Avanade. Efficient, structured and independent are qualities that describe me well. During my Erasmus+ ICM scholarship in South Africa, I deepened my understanding of social structures and cross-cultural collaboration, which has strengthened my ability to work effectively in international and diverse teams. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my background and skills can contribute to your team´s success. I look forward to the possibility of an interview. Best regards Lotta Åhag
