Saif Essam — Analytics Portfolio

1. The decision or business problem
2. Data and quality challenges
3. Analytical approach
4. Verified findings
5. Recommended action
6. Limitations and responsible use

Project images

Dashboard-style portfolio previews are editable SVG files in:

public/projects/

They intentionally use portfolio-safe synthetic visuals. Replace them with anonymized screenshots later when available.

Site URL and SEO

The fallback URL is:

https://saifessam-analytics.vercel.app

Set the following environment variable in Vercel after you know the final deployment URL or custom domain:

NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL=https://your-domain.com

This updates canonical metadata, the sitemap and structured data.

Deployment

See DEPLOYMENT.md for the exact free GitHub and Vercel workflow.

Privacy note

The website includes this disclosure on relevant projects:

Business data shown in portfolio previews is anonymized, aggregated or replaced with synthetic demonstration data.

No customer-level or employee-level records should be added to the public repository.
