Data analyst & procurement specialist using R to cut lead times and improve fiscal transparency.
KenyaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Data Analyst & Procurement Specialist with a strong foundation in public sector fiscal transparency and end-to-end supply chain cycles. Over 4 years, I ensured rigorous IFMIS compliance and high-accuracy PPRA reporting, and I transitioned into data-driven problem solving using R, data visualization, and exploratory data analysis.
In my procurement role, I produced tender documents aligned to the PPADA, standardized evaluation criteria to reduce supplier clarification requests by 25%, and improved procurement cycle times with a 20% reduction in lead times through digital requisitions and approvals. I also secured a 100% compliance rating in quarterly performance audits and maintained 98% compliance with contractual terms—while using data storytelling to support stakeholder engagement.
