Hi, I'm Rayan 👋

I help teams make sense of their data, then make it do more of the work.

I study Business Analytics & Strategic Management at Schulich and work as a Credits & Incentives Analyst at BDO Canada. Before that, I was building dashboards and AI tools at Toronto Pearson and modelling lending portfolios at RBC.

A bit about me

I'm a Toronto-based business student who likes sitting right where the data team and everyone else meet. A lot of my work comes down to translation: taking something technical and turning it into a clear answer someone can actually act on.

I've worked in a bank, an education startup, an airport and an accounting firm, and I spent a semester studying in Hong Kong. Every one of those places taught me the same thing in a different way: the best tools are the ones that quietly save people time.

Outside of work you'll find me involved on campus, meeting new people, and probably exploring somewhere new.

A day in the life

Less résumé, more real life. A quick look at what a workday actually looks like for me.

A semester in Hong Kong

I spent a semester on exchange at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, trading Toronto winters for one of the densest, fastest-moving cities in the world.

Studying business on the other side of the world changed how I think about it. Markets, workplaces and even group projects run differently when everyone brings a different starting point, and learning to adapt to that quickly is something I've carried into every role since.
