What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation, collaboration, and opportunities for growth.

I'm an experienced Analytics Engineer with a strong background in designing scalable data pipelines and developing modern BI architectures. My expertise lies in optimizing analytics workflows, particularly in the fintech sector. At M-KOPA, I played a pivotal role in driving data-driven decision-making, contributing to a remarkable $400M ARR by launching innovative products that enhanced financial health for over five million customers.

In my current role as the sole Analytics Engineer in the retention product group, I collaborated with cross-functional teams to align data solutions with strategic business objectives, achieving over $100M in bookings. I designed and implemented data models using Python and Airflow, which resulted in a 30% increase in sales within three months of launch. My commitment to improving data reliability and performance is evident through my work with dbt, where I successfully refactored legacy data models, reducing runtime by 50% and improving query performance significantly.

My journey at M-KOPA has also involved mentoring junior analysts and automating processes that have saved costs and improved efficiency. I am passionate about leveraging data to drive impactful solutions and empower teams to make informed decisions.
