AI Business Analyst

Lake Charles, LA

Business administration graduate and AI/ML bootcamp student developing practical skills in Python, data analysis, and machine learning — building on a foundation in market research, business operations, and hands-on problem solving.

About

I'm a business administration graduate currently completing an AI & Machine Learning bootcamp, working to combine practical business experience with technical skills in Python, data analysis, and machine learning.

My background is in market research and business operations — identifying companies and contacts, organizing and cleaning data in Excel, and figuring out what a business actually needs before reaching for a tool. I'm now applying that same practical, results-driven approach to learning AI integration and data science.

  • Business-first thinking

    Experience in market research and operations shapes how I think about what a problem actually needs before applying AI to it.

  • Learning by doing

    Bootcamp coursework in Python, Keras, and TensorFlow paired with hands-on practice, not just theory.

  • Practical problem solver

    A track record of dependable, hands-on work — from research and data organization to general labor — that carries over into how I approach new challenges.
