Hi, I'm Sepideh (Sep) πŸ‘‹

Data & Research Analyst | Business Intelligence | Product Analytics

πŸ“ Utrecht, Netherlands

I work at the intersection of data, research, and business decision-making.

With a Master's in Data-Driven Design and a BSc in Physics, I bring an analytical approach to understanding complex problems, identifying patterns, and translating data into actionable insights.

My professional experience spans digital platforms, e-commerce, mobility, and AI-powered products, where I have worked with behavioural data, customer research, and business metrics to inform decisions and improve outcomes.

I use Python, SQL, statistical methods, and qualitative research to investigate problems, validate findings, and communicate insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders.

What interests me most: Understanding what is happening, investigating why it is happening, and identifying what the evidence means for business decisions.

02. PredictPro: AI-Powered Forecasting & Decision Support

Applied Research | Predictive Analytics | Human-AI Interaction

Master's research project developed in collaboration with Monks.

Investigated how AI-supported forecasting can help business users explore uncertain future scenarios and make more informed decisions.

Research and analytical contributions:

  • Developed a hybrid recommendation approach combining similarity scoring and scenario-adjusted weighting.
  • Applied Python-based data processing and analytical methods to support recommendation logic.
  • Conducted research with nine participants to evaluate the interpretability of predictive outputs.
  • Translated research findings into improvements in information clarity and decision support.

Research outcomes: 46% improvement in usability satisfaction and 38% reduction in task-completion time during prototype testing.


πŸ“š Research Interests

I'm interested in how data and emerging technologies can help organisations understand complex systems and make better-informed decisions.

My interests include:

  • Business intelligence and data-driven decision-making
  • Market intelligence and economic trends
