What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where I can build data-driven solutions that solve real problems—bridging analytics and practical systems. I want a team that values data integrity, clear dashboards, and continuous learning as I grow.

I’m a results-driven Data Scientist with over 2 years of experience turning data into actionable insights for public institutions at University for Development Studies (UDS). I combine analytical thinking with software engineering to build practical, auditable solutions that teams can trust.

In my recent work, I analyzed student engagement, course progression, and program performance metrics; I developed Power BI dashboards for learner completion, cohort engagement, and retention trends; and I performed data quality audits to reduce inconsistencies and null entries. I also built and deployed a full-stack “Head-to-Head H2H Gaming Tracker,” using data modeling, statistical aggregation, and system design to ensure transparent, user-focused match statistics.

I’m also developing my cloud and scalable-systems skills (including AWS Cloud Practitioner) while staying grounded in data integrity and real-world problem-solving. Beyond analytics, my background in land economy, community field work, and operations has strengthened my ability to lead, communicate clearly, and deliver measurable outcomes—like improving student engagement by 30% and reducing data inconsistencies by 15%.
