Hey, I'm Suhail.
Welcome.
I make dashboards, untangle messy data, and help students figure things out. This is my little corner of the internet. Thanks for stopping by.

About
The short version
I work in higher education, where I build systems, automate workflows, and make sense of messy data - all to help students have a better experience. I spend a lot of time coding and connecting things through APIs. When I have time, I freelance with an NGO on community projects. Outside of work, I tinker with tech - 3D printing, smart home setups, and coding side projects. I like clear thinking, practical tools, and probably too much coffee.
Things I've Built
Some stuff I'm happy I got to work on
Student arrivals system
Built a full intake system during COVID - automated forms for returning and incoming students, call center data integration, and workflows that pulled everything into live dashboards. The government actually used it for quarantine planning, which was kind of surreal.
Engagement data hub
A central platform that replaced scattered spreadsheets and siloed data across teams. Built the data architecture, automated the pipelines, and created dashboards so people could actually find insights without hunting through files or emailing me.
Events & activity platform
An app for admins to track events and activities in one place - the single source of truth. Includes an event calendar, automated calendar invites, and reporting. Sounds boring, but it ended a lot of chaos.
What I Do
The day-to-day stuff
Higher ed data & systems person
Building dashboards, automating workflows, and making student services actually work. Lots of coding, Power Platform (BI, Automate, Apps), and connecting systems through APIs. Also the 'can you add this to the report?' guy.
NGO freelancer
When I have time, I help out with community and cultural projects. Tech setup, process improvement, that kind of thing.

I promise I reply. Coffee's on me (virtually).
