Manish Paneru

Data Analyst & AI Specialist — Sydney

Data is messy.
Decisions shouldn't be.

I'm Manish — a data analyst who builds the thing after the analysis. SQL models, Python studies, machine learning and AI agents that people actually use, for teams who need an answer rather than another dashboard.

How I work

01

Find the question

Most requests arrive as a dashboard ask. I go back a step — what decision is waiting on this, and what would change your mind? Then model the data around that.

Python · SQL · R · Pandas · NumPy · Data Cleaning · Data Wrangling · ETL Pipelines

02

Build the thing

Pipelines, models and agents that survive contact with real users. Shipped to 6,000+ of them across three products, with the boring parts automated first.

LangChain · Large Language Models · Vector Databases · ChromaDB · scikit-learn · TensorFlow · Predictive Modeling · NLP

03

Make it land

An insight nobody acts on is a hobby. I teach the finding as much as I present it — 150+ hours of it, to analysts who then did it themselves.

Tableau · Power BI · Matplotlib · Seaborn · Streamlit · Dashboard Design · Data Storytelling · Plotly

Live dashboards

Things you can click on.

Streamlit apps built for people who don't write SQL — HR turnover, metropolitan economics, census data, fraud detection and a season of LaLiga.

Writing

Notes on where this is all going.

Longer pieces on agents, reasoning and what actually changes when a model joins the team.

Experience

Founder, analyst, tutor — in that order of noise.
