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
