I help entry-level, non-technical professionals get their first data analyst role | Data Analyst @RBC | Data Career Coach

I help immigrants and career-switchers land analyst roles—without burning out on certificates.

By day I build decision-grade analytics (currently at Autodesk). By night I run Data Career Compass, where we treat your job search like a product launch:
Market → Positioning → Portfolio → Distribution → Interviews.

My POV:
Most candidates try to add more tools. Winners learn to package their value. Your portfolio isn’t a gallery; it’s a sales page for your judgment.

Receipts:

→ Professionals land interviews by aligning projects to business outcomes (not toy datasets).

→ My frameworks have been used across finance, tech, and education to translate experience into results.

→ Built data products and controls in regulated environments (RBC Capital Markets) that leaders rely on daily.


What you’ll get here:

→ Weekly breakdowns of real projects (SQL, Python, dbt, DuckDB, Looker/Tableau/Power BI).

→ Storytelling patterns that turn insights into action.

→ Templates that remove friction: portfolio briefs, stakeholder one-pagers, interview scorecards.

Coming April:

I’m launching a coaching program designed for mid-level and senior professionals ready to transition into analytics.

This isn’t an entry-level bootcamp—it’s a career accelerator that helps you reposition your existing experience, communicate business value, and step confidently into data-driven roles.

Work with me:

↳ Cohorts + 1:1 coaching → DM “HIRED”

↳ January program for mid/senior professionals → DM “APRIL” for early access

↳ Guest workshops for teams and communities → DM “WORKSHOP”


I build analysts who think like product managers and communicate like consultants.

Every data analyst has lived through this meeting.

Dashboard says: $1.2M
Finance says: $1.1M

Meeting topic for the next 45 minutes:

“Where did the $100K go?”

First theory:
Maybe a filtering issue.

Second theory:
Currency conversion.

Third theory:
Time zone mismatch.

Fourth theory:
Someone forgot to refresh the data.

Meanwhile the analyst is quietly thinking:

“Please don’t be a duplicated join. Please don’t be a duplicated join. Please don’t be a duplicated join.”

45 minutes later…

Root cause:

Someone exported the numbers to Excel
…and manually deleted a row “that looked wrong.”

New meeting scheduled:

“Aligning reporting methodology across teams.”

Welcome to data analytics.

Where 90% of the job is not finding insights…

It’s explaining why two numbers that should match… don’t.

If you’ve ever spent an hour chasing a mysterious variance in a meeting, you’re officially part of the club. 📊😅

Hey there!

I'm Yash. I'm an engineer and also a Master's in Biology. But never did find them interesting. Funny story. 

I've always been interested in tech though and found my calling in tech products. I love understanding the user psychology involved in products. 

Previously worked on my startup Relife, helping people build healthy habits through a motivated community. Think Strava, but for all your habits! Launched the app, got 100+ users and 15+ paying users - until we realised that it wasn't working out and decided to shut it. Before that worked as a product manager, but the role's been getting too much lime light lately. So I'll skip the details.

Currently building topmate. It lets you create your personal link where your followers can schedule your time for 1:1 guidance and mentoring. It's all pretty seamless - scheduling, payments, rescheduling, reminders and more. All without sharing your info! If your audience keep requesting you for guidance, do try it out - you'll love it!
