Data Analyst specializing in business and financial analytics—turning data into actionable decisions.
What I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Data Analyst with hands-on experience cleaning, analyzing, and visualizing data to support business and financial decision-making. With a strong finance and reporting background, I translate complex datasets into practical, measurable insights.
In my current role at The Food League, I built Power BI dashboards for sales, inventory, and customer insights, reducing waste by 20% through data-driven inventory controls and increasing monthly revenue by 18% using performance analytics. I also sharpen my delivery through automation, having reduced reporting time by 40% by using Python and SQL in freelance work for SMEs.
Previously, as a Finance Officer on the NCDC Redisse World Bank Project, I created Power BI dashboards for expense tracking and automated SQL-based financial reports. Earlier, as a Finance Intern at Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, I cleaned and validated donor data and developed dashboards for budget visualization. I continue to deepen my analytics foundation through NIIT’s “Diploma in Data Analytics” and Coursera’s “Data Analysis with Excel,” alongside project work like loan default prediction, customer segmentation (K-Means), and regression-based house price prediction.
