Madina Kanafina | Microsoft Certified Power BI Data Analyst Associate (PL-300) | B.S. Computational and Data Sciences in progress β George Mason University | Inventory & Operations Coordinator
Inventory and operations analytics β stock, pricing, demand, and reporting. Retail, supply chain, wholesale distribution, and manufacturing β built on BigQuery, SQL, Power BI, and DAX.
- BI & Analytics: Power BI, Excel, Power Query (M)
- Languages & Databases: SQL, DAX, R, Google BigQuery, MATLAB
- Tools & Version Control: Git, GitHub, Notion
Tech Stack: Google BigQuery, SQL, Power BI, DAX Focus: Exit timing, size-curve scarcity, demand risk scoring
99,956 real StockX transactions (2017β2019) across two brands running opposite playbooks β scarcity vs volume β modeled through a BigQuery staging pipeline and a Power BI star schema, with every headline number reconciled across three independent paths (CSV profile, SQL, report).
- Diagnosed a uniform whitespace defect silently breaking 72% of brand joins, and validated the pipeline end-to-end with five checks plus multi-path reconciliation of all published figures.
- Showed the market's apparent premium collapse after year one is a composition artifact: split by brand, aged Off-Whites appreciate to a 578% median premium while Yeezys decay to 31% β making exit timing a brand-specific decision.
- Scored all 50 models on price volatility (CV) vs premium to map hero SKUs and demand risk, and quantified size-curve scarcity: tail sizes carry 3β4x core-size premiums, with size 15 running 100% Off-White.
Tech Stack: Power BI, DAX, Power Query (M), Excel Focus: SKU profitability, cash velocity, capital payback
A 3-year SKU-level profitability model across 74 assets and 12 selling seasons β star schema, class-aware DAX, and a disconnected 12-period timeline replacing standard Time Intelligence in a non-calendar seasonal model.
- Modeled daily cash velocity across the full catalog, isolating a ~95x spread between the fastest and slowest cash-positive SKUs ($17.11/day vs $0.18/day).
- Engineered class-aware ROI and break-even logic across 4 asset classes, surfacing a 1,048% maximum 3-year ROI and exactly one structurally unprofitable SKU flagged for delisting.
- Mapped capital payback on a 12-period cumulative curve: tree-class assets run Year-1 deficits, break even in Fall of Year 2, and lead all classes by Year 3 β full-catalog 3-year net position of $57,564.
- College Cost vs. Earnings β R linear regression on U.S. Dept. of Education data; every $1 in tuition correlated with $4.59 in 10-year earnings (RΒ² = 0.344)
- Used Car Price Valuation β R regression comparison; improved RΒ² from 0.33 to 0.94 by adding categorical features
- Wheatfield Harvest Simulation β MATLAB stochastic simulation, 3,000 runs, modeling yield variability under random weather
