What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can work end-to-end on data—from cleaning to modeling to visualization—use SQL/Python/ML to deliver predictive insights, and collaborate with stakeholders in a remote, high-performance environment.

I’m a Data Analyst with a Master of Science in Machine Learning and a BSc in Statistics, combining statistical rigor with hands-on model development. I’ve built and optimized regression models on large datasets, delivering clearer, more reliable predictions and stakeholder-ready insights.

As a remote self-employed analyst, I own the full data lifecycle—cleaning, validation, exploratory analysis, modeling, and visualization—and I communicate findings through professional reports that drive data-driven decisions. Part-time at M-KOPA Kenya, I deployed ML for credit risk and default prediction, improving loan approval accuracy by 18%, increasing repayment rates by 12%, and reducing manual processing time by 35% through automated credit decision workflows.
