What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my analytical skills in a dynamic environment, fostering growth and innovation.

With over seven years of experience in technical education, I am currently transitioning into Data Analytics while pursuing a Postgraduate Diploma in Data Analytics at Varsity College. My journey has been marked by a commitment to delivering high-quality education in Mathematics and Engineering, particularly within the Robotics Department. I have developed engaging lesson plans and mentored students, enhancing their understanding of complex engineering concepts through data-driven teaching strategies.

My expertise in mathematics, industrial electronics, and engineering fundamentals, combined with my analytical mindset, enables me to extract insights from complex data and drive informed decision-making. I have also gained practical experience as a Pupil Technician at Eskom, where I conducted network planning and fault analysis for power distribution systems. I am eager to leverage my skills in Python, SQL, Excel, and data visualization to contribute effectively to a data-driven role in analytics, engineering, or education.
