About

I got into analytics because I hate decisions made on gut feel.

Meera Anand

Four years in, I've learned the hardest part of analytics isn't the SQL — it's asking the right question before you touch the data. I spend real time with stakeholders up front, so the dashboard I ship answers what they actually needed, not just what they asked for.

I've worked across retail and fintech, building everything from executive-level KPI dashboards to the pipeline work that feeds them. Comfortable owning a problem from raw data to the slide that goes in front of leadership.

Outside client work, I write about practical SQL patterns and mentor early-career analysts trying to break into the field.
