• About me

    Hi, I’m Nina!

     

    I’m a Data Analyst intrigued by creativity and innovation, with a strong aptitude for technology. I have experience in data collection, preparation, management, analysis and visualization, with excellent problem-solving and communication skills (both interpersonal and influencing). I have a proven track record of being able to thrive & perform in fast-paced and collaborative environments, while maintaining detail-oriented, service-oriented and customer-focused solutions.

     

    Apart from that, I’m ceaselessly fascinated by the relationship between technology and design/art. In the past, I was a programmer at heart with a love for design. My mission was to bridge the gap between technology and people, by creating beautiful user experiences within the devices, applications and websites that we interact with.

     

    Overall, I have a deep appreciation for experiences that challenge my ability to adapt to various situations and inspire me to develop fresh approaches to arduous problems.

     

    On different note, my hobbies currently include crocheting little stuffed toys, fulfilling my childhood dream of attending Hogwarts, simulating flotation while on a skateboard, and randomly bursting into song! I also enjoy capturing the beauty in the simplicities of everyday life.
