Data with Jeffy

I’m a Data Analyst Starting Over – Here’s What I’m Building and Why

Let me be upfront with you from the very first post: I’m not writing this from a corner office with a fancy title. I’m writing this as someone who’s in the middle of a transition — rebuilding, re-focusing, and being very deliberate about what comes next.

I think that’s actually worth something.

A LITTLE ABOUT ME

My name is Jeffy. I have an MSc in Data Science and a background in analytics work I built while living and working in London. I’ve spent time with SQL, Python, Power BI, and Tableau — not just in coursework, but in real projects with real stakes.

Now I’m back in India, and I’m using this moment — this gap — to do something I didn’t have time for when I was heads-down in work: build in public.

WHAT THIS BLOG IS

Data with Jeffy is where I document what I’m learning, practicing, and figuring out as a data analyst.

That means:

  • Honest breakdowns of SQL, Python, and BI tools as I sharpen them
  • Career reflections — what working in data actually looks like, not the LinkedIn version
  • Project walkthroughs from my own portfolio as I build it out
  • Occasional opinions on the data world, hiring, and the craft of analysis

I’m not going to pretend I know everything. But I do know how to learn deliberately, and I’ll share all of it here.

WHY NOW

Gaps in a career feel uncomfortable. There’s a pressure to hide them, to rush past them, to fill them with noise.

I decided to do the opposite.

Instead of just applying to jobs and waiting, I’m using this time to get sharper — to practice SQL problems every day, to build a proper portfolio, and to write about what I’m learning in a way that might help someone else who’s on a similar path.

If you’re a fellow analyst, a student breaking into data, or just someone curious about what this field actually looks like from the inside — this blog is for you.

WHAT’S COMING NEXT

Over the next few weeks I’ll be posting about:

  • My SQL practice routine and what’s actually helping
  • How I’m structuring my portfolio projects
  • Tools I’m using and why

Subscribe below if you want to follow along. And if you’re going through something similar — a career transition, a gap, a rebuild — I’d genuinely love to hear from you in the comments.

This is just the beginning.
