Pranav Garg

Hi, I'm a graduate student pursuing an MS in Business Analytics at the McCombs School of Business, University of Texas at Austin. I'm deeply passionate about harnessing the power of data analytics and machine learning to drive strategic decisions and solve real-world business challenges.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Information Technology from Vellore Institute of Technology, where I developed a solid technical foundation in software engineering, big data analytics, and machine learning. Beyond the classroom, I've always been curious—exploring open-source implementations of machine learning systems and solving technical challenges independently has been one of my favorite ways to grow.

Work Experience

As a Solution Data Engineer and Business Analyst at Kimberly-Clark, I led enterprise-scale digital procurement initiatives, optimizing ETL pipelines, enhancing data architecture, and integrating SAP S/4 HANA with Coupa to improve procurement scalability and data accuracy. My work involved SQL query optimization, reducing execution latency, and implementing CI/CD pipelines for automated data ingestion using Azure Data Factory and Databricks. Additionally, I contributed to workflow automation, leveraging SCRUM methodologies to streamline vendor management and approval processes. Through data-driven forecasting and cloud-based infrastructure enhancements, I enabled efficient system integrations, reducing procurement redundancy and improving operational efficiency across global teams. Additionally, I implemented ETL pipelines to integrate data into Collibra, making data governance more robust and accessible for teams across the organization.

My journey in analytics and technology has been hands-on and rewarding. I've built expertise in Python, SQL, and machine learning while honing my data visualization skills using tools like Tableau and Power BI. Through internships and projects, I've learned to take ideas from concept to implementation, developing predictive models and advanced analytics that create actionable insights.

I'm always eager to learn and collaborate. If you're interested in connecting, feel free to reach out—I'm excited to explore opportunities where I can combine my technical expertise, procurement experience, and business acumen to make an impact.
