Hi, I'm Ashik M Asharaf 👋 Data Analyst | MSc AI & Data Science (Distinction) | University of Hull, UK I believe the most dangerous number in any dashboard is the one nobody questioned. That belief shapes everything I build, from how I construct datasets to how I communicate insights.
What I do Turn messy, multi-source data into decisions that stick Build pipelines, dashboards, and models that answer real business questions Ask the question behind the question, before writing a single line of code
