Business Intelligence Engineer · Seattle

Hi, I’m Fani.

I build analytics products that turn messy, real-world data into clear decisions—dashboards people trust, and pipelines that don’t break when things change.

My story

A quick snapshot of how I think, what I enjoy, and why I’m in this work.

How I got here

I started in operations and bookkeeping, where accuracy, communication, and clean records were essential. That foundation pushed me into analytics through Year Up and then Amazon, first as a Business Analyst and then as a Business Intelligence Engineer.

As highlighted in my resume, my day-to-day work focuses on translating business questions into trusted metrics, decision-ready reporting, and scalable data workflows. I partner across teams to improve data quality, standardize KPI definitions, and deliver analytics that help leaders make faster, higher-confidence decisions.

Outside work

Outside of work, I build fun personal projects to learn new skills and simplify real workflows for people, teams, and developers.

  • People and community: Church Membership Portal simplifies membership, attendance, and contribution tracking.
  • Environmental and social reporting: World Prosperity Dashboard and USA Clean Energy Project support clearer reporting and better decision-making.
  • Developer productivity: Data Workbench, QueryQuest API Lab, and PulseLens Feedback Insight Engine simplify data exploration, API querying, and feedback analysis.
