Projects

Three projects, newest analysis first. Each one has the code behind it on GitHub.

UK Crime

Data AnalysisTesting

Tested three public claims against a 65-million-row police dataset in Spark. Two refuted: burglary fell about 50%, and Merseyside ranks 4th, not 1st. Approached it like a test: stated each claim, checked it against the data, and recorded whether it held up.

About

Data Analyst & QA Tester · Newcastle, UK · Open to work

I'm originally from Myanmar (Burma) and now based in Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom. I like working with data — cleaning it, querying it and turning it into something people can actually use to make a decision — and I like finding what's wrong with it, whether that's an error in a dataset or a bug in an app. Either way, I check before I trust a result. SQL, Excel and Power BI are my main tools, I've used Python, Apache Spark and Azure on larger projects, and I'm studying for the ISTQB Foundation Level certificate in software testing.

I graduated from Northumbria University in July 2026 and I'm now applying for data analyst and QA roles while building real projects to back it up. I'm open to relocating within the UK or Southeast Asia for the right role.

Experience

Crew Member — McDonald's, Blaydon

Gateshead, England · Nov 2025 – Present · alongside full-time study

  • Worked front counter and kitchen through peak trading, where accuracy matters as much as speed.
  • Won Star of the Shift multiple times and was awarded Employee of the Month (May 2026) for consistency and pace under pressure.
  • Currently working toward Crew Trainer, which means training new starters on process and standards.
  • Held this alongside a full-time degree I finished with First Class Honours.

Graphic Designer — YOUTH Student Activities Team

Yangon, Myanmar · Dec 2024 – Apr 2025

  • Designed posters, social media posts, banners and flyers for student events using Canva, supporting the full event promotion cycle.
  • Created visual content that received 100+ reactions and 30+ shares, increasing student awareness and participation.
  • Worked closely with a team to deliver designs on time, making sure all content matched the event theme and message.

No data or testing role yet — that's what I'm looking for. What this job gave me is the habit of getting details right when it's busy, which is most of what analysis actually is.
