👋🏻 Hey, I'm Vishnu. It's nice to meet you! In my capacity as the sole Business Intelligence Analyst at Tidewater Midstream (opens new window), I am entrusted with the strategic development and meticulous upkeep of the entirety of our data infrastructure, encompassing all operational domains. My role necessitates close collaboration with stakeholders across cross-functional teams, facilitating seamless end-to-end production support and maintenance for an intricate web of data pipelines, dynamic dashboards, and resilient databases. These collectively underpin the bedrock of proficient data administration, decision-making, and analytical exploration.

I previously worked as a Data Scientist Intern in the Data Science Division (opens new window) at Statistics Canada (opens new window). I led the creation of end-to-end ML systems that forecasted electric vehicle adoption rates in British Columbia, leveraging a vast dataset of over 170 million vehicle registration records.

The primary objective of these systems was to identify areas with the highest potential for future electric vehicle adoption, thus enabling strategic planning for critical infrastructure requirements, including charging stations. This ensures we meet the escalating demand for electric vehicles while proactively addressing the challenge of potential grid overload resulting from increased electricity consumption.
