About

I’m Rohith Reddy Kolanu, a graduate student in Business Analytics at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, aiming for roles in Business Analysis, Data Analysis, and Consulting. My academic foundation is built on strong analytical and technical skills, including Python, SQL, Tableau, Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, and Data Mining. I enjoy uncovering patterns in complex data, solving business problems with logic and clarity, and delivering actionable insights that support strategic decisions. My goal is to work in roles where I can combine data, business understanding, and communication to create measurable impact for organizations.

Professionally, I worked as a Process Analyst at Broadridge, where I supported operational optimization initiatives in a fast-paced environment. This experience taught me how to analyze workflows, interpret large datasets, and collaborate across teams to drive efficiency. In parallel, my journey as an independent derivatives trader in the Indian stock market has deepened my understanding of market behavior, risk management, and decision-making under pressure. Trading has enhanced my ability to work with real-time data, identify trends, and act decisively—skills that directly translate to the analytical and consulting roles I am pursuing.
