Data Analyst
I'm Baraa — a 3rd-year Business Technology Management student at the University of Ottawa. I work at the intersection of data and development: analyzing systems, building dashboards, and writing code that solves real problems. Outside the screen, I train hard and create — but tech is where I build my future.
A toolkit built through real work — not just coursework.
I could have been an architect — but I chose to build through code. Each project represents a new challenge, a new skill, and a step forward. This is more than a collection of work — it's proof of continuous growth.

Developed a predictive analytics model using IBM SPSS Modeler to analyze automotive sensor data and identify patterns associated with vehicle performance and potential failures. Cleaned, prepared, and transformed raw sensor datasets, then applied data mining techniques to build classification/predictive models. Evaluated model performance using accuracy metrics and validation techniques to improve reliability. The project demonstrated how sensor-driven insights can support predictive maintenance and early fault detection in automotive systems. Done for an assignment in my data mining course.
Prototype system leveraging Rovo to analyze and classify Jira tickets based on task type, priority, and required skills. Designed prompt workflows to match tasks with team members by role and availability, integrating with Jira APIs to simulate automated assignment and improve workflow efficiency.
