Background

About Vincent Zhao

I'm a self-starting data professional with 5+ years of experience in data analyst and data science roles across the financial services, non-profit, and federal consulting industries. Specializing in data transformation, data governance, process automation, and data visualization, I've led cross-functional data teams in the end-to-end development of sophisticated business intelligence suites; turning feature-rich data into actionable insights for multi-million dollar pricing campaigns & strategy decisions. My degree in Computational Modeling & Data Analytics built a strong technical foundation for my career, and I've since honed my technical knowledge and interpersonal skills to be an effective team player even in fast-paced, high stress environments. The catalyst for my growth was joining Capital One’s Small Business Bank team in 2020, where I was thrust into the storm of loan processing and volatile rate markets. Everything was a race to the bottom, and we had to act fast to change our pricing strategy such that we could continue to offer top-of-market rates without bankrupting the business. Thanks to incredible mentorship & talented teammates, I was able to ramp-up quickly - leveraging my proficiency in SQL and Python to migrate big data from enterprise data lake sources into our local Snowflake Data Warehouses for use in pricing campaigns, and taking ownership of the expansion of our business’s rate infrastructure. Now, I use the skills I cultivated to help teams build innovative and creative solutions to complex data / business problems. My experience at a glance:* 5+ years of designing, developing, and deploying interactive Tableau dashboards * 3+ years of Tableau Server administration; primarily scheduling extracts, managing workspaces, and optimizing performance * 5+ years of SQL and Python experience for big data analysis; leveraging cloud platforms such as Snowflake, Databricks, AWS Athena, AWS Quicksight, Tableau, Power BI, and Power Automate * 5+ years of Excel / Google Sheets experience for sharing analysis, performing quality checks for data integrity, and project tracking I’m motivated by ambition, creativity, positivity, and curiosity in the workplace. I prefer teams and company cultures that value collective success over individual accolades - where Getting Stuff Done is the driving force Currently located in Northern VA, seeking Hybrid or On-site opportunities in New York City, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, or Washington D.C.
