I turn banking data into accurate dashboards and actionable business decisions.
What I'm looking for
I've turned retail banking data into executive decisions at Keystone Bank, uncovering ₦4 billion in previously unreported deposits through optimized SQL reporting and leading a retail analytics dashboard from prototype to stakeholder adoption.
At Sterling Bank, I led a five-person team investigating digital-lending performance with SQL and BI analysis, contributing to a 15% reduction in loan application failure rates. At Polaris Bank, I presented weekly loan-product and retail risk insights to senior management and analyzed customer, credit, adoption, and profitability drivers.
I'm now building repeatable analytical pipelines at RareLabs Analytics, using Python, Pandas, NumPy, Matplotlib, and Seaborn to analyze customer-value, churn, and lending patterns across data from 18,000+ customers.
