The Timeline
A small life, in dates.
The moments that mattered. Nothing invented, nothing exaggerated.
Background
Graduated with Honours — Peace and Conflict Resolution
A degree that taught me to listen carefully and look beneath the surface.
Before
Time in Web3 and cryptocurrency
Analyzing market trends and observing patterns — building, without naming it, the muscles of an analyst.
January 9, 2026
The conversation
My brother-in-law connected the dots between market analysis and data analysis: same craft, different surface. I started learning that day.
First weeks
Started with SQL
Fell in love with it quickly — it felt like a language for asking precise questions.
Following months
Excel and Power BI
Excel from basic to intermediate. Power BI, steadily approaching advanced. SQL, the same.
Alongside
Coursera Data Analytics course
Less about the certificate, more about learning how analysts think: how to break down business questions and generate insights.
April 2026
Secured a data analytics internship
One of the most important parts of my growth — the first place to apply, in real conditions, what I'd been learning alone.
Now
Still learning. Still showing up.
Approaching advanced SQL and Power BI. Working through the internship. Writing this journal as I go.
What comes next
Future goals.
Next
Reach genuine advanced fluency in SQL and Power BI.
Not from a certificate — from being the person someone in the team trusts with the hard query.
Then
Publish my first finished analytics project.
Real question, real data, written up honestly.
After that
Step into my first full-time data analyst role.
And build a career that earns the word 'successful' on its own terms.
