Hello! I'm Shaodong ZHANG, a trilingual professional skilled in business intelligence (BI) and data analytics, with hands-on experience building Power BI dashboards, designing ETL pipelines, and applying machine learning using Python, R, Power BI and SQL. I thrive on turning complex data into clear, actionable insights and collaborating with cross-functional teams to drive data-driven decisions. My background in International Relations complements my analytical work with strong communication and consultancy skills. I am currently the Statistics and Information Management Officer at IOM in Geneva, where I develop semantic models and dashboards to monitor migration flows, build ETL pipelines, and lead data quality control. My previous roles include BI and Data Analyst Intern at IATA, Power BI Dashboard Development Intern at ITU, and a Capstone Consultant with the Embassy of Canada to Spain, all of which sharpened my ability to translate policy needs into data-driven solutions. Outside of work I have founded an online IR tutoring service and taught international law, blending policy expertise with data and technology.
