Building data-driven systemsfor real-world operational decisions.

I'm Garvit Mittal, a Business Analytics & AI graduate student with experience across operations, forecasting, reporting automation, and business analysis. I work at the intersection of analytics and business decision-making, building models, dashboards, and reporting systems that help leaders act with more clarity, speed, and confidence.

My strongest work includes an ML-powered warehouse decision system, forecasting projects, operational analysis, and KPI frameworks built to solve real business problems rather than showcase isolated tools.

About

How I think

My background in finance and business analysis shapes how I approach data. I do not look at analytics as just modeling or reporting. I look at it as a way to improve cost visibility, forecasting quality, operational efficiency, and business decision outcomes.

Across my work, I have built forecasting models that improved planning accuracy by 15–20%, analyzed 20,000+ operational records to surface cost and supplier insights, and automated reporting workflows that reduced monthly close time by 25%.

I am most interested in roles where data is used to drive better decisions in supply chain, operations, business intelligence, and performance management. My goal is to build systems that help teams move from reactive reporting to structured, forward-looking decision-making.
