Data Analyst | Data Specialist | AgriTech & Environmental

Saar Sharir

Where data science meets the real world.

I build data systems, analytical pipelines, and intelligence tools that solve grounded problems — from field-scale agriculture to enterprise BI. Combining technical depth with domain expertise in agronomy, GIS, and machine learning.

Analytical thinking,
domain-grounded precision.

I'm a data analyst and agronomist working at the intersection of plant science, environmental systems, and data science. I specialize in transforming complex environmental and operational data into actionable insights using SQL, Python, Power BI, and geospatial analysis.

My work focuses on building reliable analytical pipelines, dashboards, and decision-support tools that help organizations manage land, crops, and environmental resources more effectively.
