Abdullahi is strongest in analytics, actionable insight generation, and communicating the business story behind data\. He uses practical decision metrics—including mileage and proximity to charging and servicing—to help organizations assess EV\-transition options\. His core analytics toolkit includes Azure Databricks, SQL, Python, and Power BI, with SQL and Python as the tools he is most comfortable using\. Abdullahi is also experienced in supply\-chain optimization, data modeling, ETL workflows, machine learning, predictive analytics, and data visualization\. At the University of Missouri–Columbia, he developed a two\-stage stochastic optimization model for EV charging\-station placement that reduced the number of stations in the network by 56\.5%, kept travel between stations at 3\.5 miles or less, and achieved an objective\-function value of 0\.0360\. His background also includes battery data analysis, energy\-saving software engineering, sports data analysis, object\-detection research, teaching, and K–12 engineering instruction\. He works effectively both independently and with cross\-functional business stakeholders\. ## Services - Web Engineering - Software Design - Software Infrastructure - SQL - dbt - Data Visualization - Supply Chain Optimization - Machine Learning - Apache Airflow - Extract, Transform, Load \(ETL\) - Neural Networks - Predictive Analytics - Data Modeling - Research Skills - Microsoft Azure - Azure Databricks - Azure Data Factory - Microsoft SQL Server - Microsoft Power BI - Python \(Programming Language\) ## Highlights - Analyzes EV fleet\-conversion feasibility for commercial clients at General Motors and delivers employee\-specific recommendations\. - Uses mileage, charging proximity, servicing proximity, and related metrics to create actionable EV\-transition recommendations\. - Developed a two\-stage stochastic optimization model for EV charging\-station placement at the University of Missouri–Columbia\. - Reduced the number of EV charging stations in the project network by 56\.5%\. - Improved EV\-owner accessibility and convenience by reducing travel between charging stations to 3\.5 miles or less\. - Achieved an objective\-function value of 0\.0360 for the EV charging\-station placement model\. - Worked as a Data Analyst—Batteries at Wayne State University College of Engineering\. - Worked as a Software Engineer focused on energy savings at Resolute Building Intelligence\. - Worked as a Data Analyst for the Detroit Lions\. - Assisted PhD students with object detection as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at theCARLAB at Wayne State University\. - Tutored Wayne State University students in object\-oriented programming in C\+\+ as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant\. - Co\-created K–12 lesson plans, facilitated camp activities, mentored students, and developed optimization skills through engineering projects as a Wayne State University Camp Instructor\. - Earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from Wayne State University in 2025\. - Holds Astronomer Certification for Apache Airflow Fundamentals\. - Holds the Microsoft Certified: Power BI Data Analyst Associate certification\. - Holds the Microsoft Certified: Azure Data Engineer Associate certification\. ## Experience - **Software Engineer\-Energy Savings at Resolute Building Intelligence** (2025\-03\-01–2025\-09\-01) - **Data Scientist\-Fleet EV Adoption at General Motors** (2024\-06\-01–2024\-08\-01) - **Data Analyst\-Batteries at Wayne State University College of Engineering** (2024\-03\-01–2024\-06\-01) - **Data Scientist\-Electric Vehicle Charging Station at University of Missouri\-Columbia** (2023\-05\-01–2023\-08\-01) — Reduced the number of EV Charging Stations in the Network by 56\.5% by developing a two\-stage stochastic optimization model\. • Improved accessibility and convenience for EV owners by decreasing the distance traveled between each charging station to 3\.5 miles or less\. • Achieved an objective function value of 0\.0360, representing a highly efficient placement of EV charging stations\. - **Data Analyst at Detroit Lions** (2022\-11\-01–2023\-01\-01) - **Undergraduate Teaching Assistant at Wayne State University** (2022\-01\-01–2022\-05\-01) — Tutored students object\-oriented programming in C\+\+ - **Undergraduate Research Assistant at theCARLAB at Wayne State University** (2021\-07\-01–2021\-09\-01) — Assisted PhD students in object detection - **Camp Instructor at Wayne State University** (2021\-06\-01–2021\-08\-01) — Worked with co\-instructors to created lesson plans to mentor and guide K\-12\.
