Background

About Craig Thomas

Dynamic and results-oriented Business Administration graduate (3.94 GPA) with a minor in Business Analytics, seeking job opportunities as a Data Analyst or Business Analyst. Proficient in Microsoft Office Suite, Power BI, Tableau, and SQL, I specialize in transforming complex datasets into actionable insights through data visualization, dashboard creation, and advanced analytics. With two hands-on data internships in the construction industry, I gained significant expertise in analytics, focusing on data structures within construction and project management spaces. This includes analyzing project performance metrics (on-time completion percentages, job cost efficiency), workforce utilization and efficiency for operations, and Google Analytics/SEO data for marketing strategies. Utilizing SQL and Power BI, I developed dashboards that supported data-driven decision making and enhanced project efficiency. Key achievements include rebuilding a large but antiquated data collection pipeline to capture more relevant data and automate the storage of said data, saving 10+ hours per week in manual data entry and reducing errors to near-zero. Additionally, as a sophomore I led a data collection and analysis project which uncovered over in company theft, demonstrating strong problem-solving and investigative skills. As the captain of my college soccer team, I honed leadership, teamwork, and strategic thinking skills complemented by strong communication abilities and a proven track record of handling time-sensitive projects under stress to deliver accurate results. Eager to apply my analytical skills in innovative organizations, I'm passionate about leveraging data analytics to drive business growth in construction, project management, finance or related fields.
