What I'm looking for

I seek roles in mine planning or drill-and-blast optimization that leverage data analysis and software tools, in collaborative, learning-focused teams offering growth.

I am a mining engineer with First Class Honours from the University of Mines and Technology, with a strong focus on data entry and analysis. I have practical experience from internships and national service at major Ghanaian mining companies, where I supported production reporting, performance tracking, and drill-and-blast data analysis. Skilled in data analysis tools such as Python, C#, Excel, and SQL, I bring accuracy and structure to data handling while generating insights that support decision-making and operational efficiency. Detail-oriented, organized, and a strong team player, I am seeking opportunities to apply my analytical skills to streamline data processes, improve reporting accuracy, and contribute to productivity improvements.
