Meet Siti Adibah Syazwani Binti Mohd Khalid, a talented Data Analyst I, who has been an Allstar for almost a year. Originally from Kajang, Selangor.

Siti Adibah started her career as a Business Development Executive before discovering her passion for data analysis. She made the bold decision to switch careers, embarking on a data analytics course to equip herself with the necessary skills and knowledge.

Let’s hear her story! 🙂

What does an average day at work look like for you?

My weekdays are a mixture of working in the office or from home since the ICT department practices a hybrid working mode. I always start my day with a cup of Iced Americano and maybe grab a bite to eat. Then, I make a quick check on my calendar for any scheduled meetings, check on emails, chats and then proceed to do my tasks according to priority. RedQ is like a mixture of working space and playground so on the days I am working in the office, I always look forward to working together with my colleagues and spending fun times with them in between!

Have you always been interested in tech?

I came from an Engineering education background and have a bit of IT and programming basic knowledge during my study but I discovered that a small bit of knowledge that I have fascinates me. I start to dive more specifically into data analytics with any resources that I can access and currently still exploring new and interesting things each day.

Could you elaborate on your first job in this field and how you were able to work where you are now?

During my study time, I worked as a freelance tutor for kids and taught them the basics of Python and HTML which polished my coding understanding and skills.

That was the first moment I discovered my passion and from there, I started to take courses on data analytics and practice my skills using multiple resources and open source data while building my portfolio.

Favourite part of your job?

The fun interaction with my team (This doesn’t need a disclaimer but DA team are fun people okay!) and when I successfully create visualization for stakeholders and they use it in their day-to-day tasks.

What do you like about working in airasia?

I am given enough opportunities to explore and room for mistakes and improvements. Nobody judges me and they are always open to questions and recommendations. Innovative ideas are always welcomed here and I enjoy my time working here.

Fun fact about you?

I enjoy Pound workout in my free time and aspire to become a Pound Pro in future. FYI, Pound workout is a cardio jam session inspired by the fun of playing the drums using Ripstix®, a pair of lightly weighted drumsticks engineered specifically for exercising.

Any plans to travel soon? Where to next?

Seoul!
