Freight Pricing Benchmark Calibration
An independent pricing case study examining how public carrier-cost and broker-margin benchmarks change a modeled quote for a 500-mile shipment.
The Excel model compares assumed and calibrated inputs, tests pricing sensitivity, and documents recommendations and limitations in a decision brief. The modeled quote increases from $1,146.34 to $1,358.17—an illustrative scenario, not an actual customer quote or realized business result.

Cleaned and formatted a raw dataset in Excel by removing duplicates, fixing formatting issues, handling missing values, and organizing the data into a structured format for analysis.
I designed and developed a Spotify-inspired Music Analytics Dashboard in Microsoft Power BI, combining data modelling, DAX, interactive navigation, and custom dashboard design into a single analytical experience.
The dashboard allows users to explore music data from different perspectives — from overall performance and popularity to individual artists, songs, albums, and trends over time.
What I built
- Overview Dashboard — high-level KPIs and music performance trends
- Artist Analytics — artist rankings, song counts, popularity and catalogue analysis
- Song Analytics — song popularity, duration, year-wise analysis and album insights
- Interactive Navigation — seamless movement between dashboard sections
- Dynamic Visual Analysis — monthly trends, popularity patterns and category comparisons
- Detailed Data Tables — deeper exploration beyond summary-level KPIs
- Spotify-inspired UI — dark, modern interface designed around the visual identity of a music streaming platform
Key metrics explored
- 342 Artists
- 789 Distinct Songs
- 562 Albums
- Average Song Duration: 3.28 minutes
- Average Popularity: 90
