Hi, I'm Jagvir

Hello! I'm Jagvir Dhesi, a graduate of Mount Royal University, where I earned a degree in Accounting and a minor in Finance. My time at university exposed me to various subjects, including information systems and statistics, which sparked my interest in the captivating field of data analytics.

After completing my degree and gaining valuable work experience, I decided to further expand my knowledge in the data field. I enrolled in an intensive Data Science program, where I delved deeper into the concepts I had previously learned in university. This program provided me with comprehensive insights into data management techniques like ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) and EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis). While also learning Python, SQL, Tableau, etc.

Through this journey, I've cultivated a passion for leveraging data to gain valuable insights and make informed decisions. I'm excited to continue exploring the fascinating world of data analytics and contributing my skills to meaningful projects.

In my free time, you can often find me immersed in anime & movies, exploring the world of video games (currently playing Baldur's Gate 3, Silent Hill 2, and Spider-Man 2) with Skyrim being my all time fav! I'm also passionate about playing the guitar, which I'm still learning 🤓 and photography.
