What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can turn KPIs into clear dashboards and decisions, strengthen data quality, and support organisational goals with both analytical and narrative communication. I’m available immediately for full-time work in Nigeria, and open to remote/hybrid.

I’m a data-driven analyst with progressive experience in data analysis, monitoring, and reporting across project management and content strategy. I build data-informed dashboards and dashboards-backed narratives that help teams make evidence-based decisions, while staying meticulous about data quality.

At Dexchase LTD, I led the end-to-end project lifecycle for the Dexchase Trivia app—cleaning and analysing post-launch engagement data, tracking KPIs across milestones, and re-engineering team workflows to reduce production timelines by 20%. I also improve analytical and content processes at scale as a Content Writer, leveraging AI-powered research tools to increase content production efficiency by 30%, and in previous roles supported KPI reporting and data-driven content strategy using tools like SemRush.
