KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I am an Information Technology graduate with a robust foundation in systems design, software development, and IT infrastructure. Recently, I completed a data science course that has significantly enhanced my ability to extract meaningful insights from data and solve complex problems. My technical background is complemented by experience in sales and social media management, where I successfully created engaging content, managed customer interactions, and closed sales. This unique blend of skills allows me to approach challenges with a well-rounded perspective.
Driven by curiosity and a passion for emerging technologies, I am committed to continuous learning and actively seeking opportunities to apply my skills in IT, data science, and digital engagement. My recent projects, including the Tanzania Water Wells Project and King County House Sales Project, showcase my ability to leverage machine learning and data analysis to deliver actionable insights. I am eager to contribute to organizational growth by creating impactful solutions that resonate with both technical and customer engagement aspects.
