Experience

Data Analyst

Gekko - Applied Drilling Intelligence, UK | April 2025 - Present

Leading fuel optimization projects with 98.5% prediction accuracy, driving $1.2M+ annual savings.

1.Built and optimized a vessel fuel prediction model that

  • Helped our clients save ~$1.2M annually in fuel costs
  • Helped the environment by conserving over 400k+ gallons of fuel yearly
  • Made vessels 15% more efficient on average
  • Elevated our model accuracy from 80% to 98.5%

2.Created intricate Power BI reports

  • To drive decision making of vessel speeds, dispatch timings, etc
  • For optimal vessel utilization and fuel savings
  • By driving clear narratives using vessel trips, fuel utilization, and wait time visualizations

3.Automated monthly report generation, summarization, and QC that

  • Saved our team 120+ hours monthly
  • Allowed the team to focus on higher-value QC processes instead of manual report churning
  • Added Report automation that sends the Vessel reports every Monday

4.Built an AI Report Summarization tool

  • Trained the model to Identify the KPIs like Top performing trips, Vessel Utilization, Short/Long trip, Fuel Consumption, Cost Savings, etc.
  • It generates the Tailored summary reducing the Quality Analysis time by 70%

5.Fuel Consumption breakdown per vessel state

  • By cleverly breaking down aggregated fuel data over different Vessel state, unlocked the decision making to identify the actual vs predicted fuel difference at vessel state
  • It helped to draw an analysis based on fuel difference in a particular vessel state

6.Trained 4 Data Analysts on PowerBI Vessel Report development & Quality Analysis process for ~8 months
