      Data for Energy Accelerator Student

      Completed an intensive energy accelerator program with Shell, developing advanced data analysis techniques and proficiency in Power BI, Excel, DAX, and Python.During my capstone project, I applied these skills to a business analysis case study, conducting analysis of demand data and traffic patterns to justify investment in an EV hub. I was able to determine the optimal number of EV chargers for the proposed location, assessing financial viability and investment recovery. I then crafted a compelling pitch presentation summarising my analysis. Show less
