Mid-Level Data Analyst
Ahmed Salam
Connecting data, product, and business to understand what is happening, why it is happening, and what to do next.
I work across the whole analytics path — from tracing a question into the source data to the model, the dashboard, and the decision it supports.
The number is the start of the question, not the answer.
I work where data, product, and business meet. Before I write a query, I want to understand the feature, the user behind it, and the business model it serves — and then how all of that is actually recorded in the data.
Most of my work at 4Sale, Kuwait's leading classifieds marketplace, sits between those layers: investigating sources, building models people can rely on, analyzing how the product performs, and presenting what it means to C-level executives and the teams who act on it.
I care a lot about accuracy. When a metric moves, I want to know whether it can be trusted, why it moved, and which decision it should change.
