Hi, I'm Alaz Kalelioglu
A deep curiosity turned my early interest in computer games into a career in Computer Science. Today, I focus on transforming data into meaningful, decision-ready insights.
With a B.S. and M.S. in Computer Science, I built a strong foundation in systems, databases, and data architecture. Over time, my focus shifted toward analytics ā using SQL and Python to clean, structure, and analyze data in ways that improve clarity, workflows, and user experiences.
Currently, as an Application Analyst, I analyze engagement patterns and optimize digital experiences through data-driven insights. In previous engineering roles, I developed dashboards and automated data workflows, strengthening my ability to move from raw data to actionable understanding.
Iām interested in Data Analyst and Product Analytics roles where I can use data to uncover insights, improve experiences, and support better decision-making.
