Hey there, I’m Farzad Nazemi. I’m a bit of a Nerd and love working with Data.

A highly experienced business and data analyst working with SQL, MS Power Platform and Various Business intelligence Platforms and ETL tools, I am tenacious and focused on delivering solutions for the business through better use of data, acting as a conduit between the business end users, Management, IT and the developers, to enable business transformation, efficiencies and better MIS, resulting in improved business activity and increased revenue and/or cost saving.

I have experience as an Analyst, a Project manager, a Developer and as a Manager which has given me insight into creating and scoping projects, working with end customers in developing solutions and working with other developers to ensure the translation of User Requirements to a meaningful functional requirement spec for the development teams. 

In every aspect of my work, communication has always been key, asking the right questions and listening to feedback.
