Ritika Rana

I'm a data analyst based in Brisbane, with a background in software engineering and a Master's in Data Science from UQ.

I didn't start out in analytics. I was writing backend code, building systems, and fixing bugs. But over time, I realised that the real value wasn't just in building systems, it was in understanding the data behind them. That's what pulled me into data.

I work end-to-end. I clean the data, analyse it, build dashboards, and explain what it all means — without making it overly complicated.

Here are a few things I've done recently:

• Cut reporting errors by 30% by fixing messy data
• Improved forecast accuracy by 20% with better models
• Helped increase revenue by 10% by finding what actually drives sales

I've worked with small businesses, startups, and teams who just needed someone to make sense of their data.

What I Do

• Data analysis: I dig into raw data and figure out what's actually going on.
• Dashboards: I build dashboards that people actually use (not just look at once and forget).
• Data pipelines: I clean and structure data so it's reliable from the start.
• Simple AI tools: I build tools that help non-technical people explore their own data.

Projects I'm Proud Of

• AI analytics tool: Upload your data, get charts, and plain-English explanations — no technical skills needed.
• Customer behaviour dashboards: Tracking things like conversion, churn, and engagement in a way that's easy to follow.
• Falcon 9 prediction model: A machine learning project predicting rocket landing success (this one was fun).

Let's Work Together

If you've got data but don’t fully trust it… or you're not sure what it's telling you — I can help.
