What is a Data Analyst?

A data analyst is a professional who is responsible for collecting, organizing, and analyzing data in order to help businesses and organizations make informed decisions. Data analysts often work with large sets of data, using tools and techniques such as statistical analysis, data visualization, and machine learning to identify actionable insights, identify trends, patterns, critical insights and relationships in the data. They may also be responsible for developing and implementing processes for collecting and storing data, and for creating reports and presentations to share their findings with others. Data analysts may work in a variety of industries, including finance, healthcare, marketing, and retail.
