DANIEL QUANSAH
@danielquansah
Data analyst specializing in survey data, visualization, and field data quality assurance.
What I'm looking for
I am a data analyst based in Ghana with hands-on experience in survey design, field data collection, and data visualization across development projects.
Over nearly a decade I have supervised and trained enumerators, managed teams in multi-region surveys, and exceeded targets in field campaigns, including surpassing assigned cocoa-plot targets by over 10%.
I apply Python, R (RStudio), Power BI and SQL to clean, analyze and visualize complex datasets, and have used ARIMA time-series and advanced statistical diagnostics in academic research and policy-focused publications.
I deliver reliable, high-quality data and actionable insights, and I seek opportunities to improve data quality, mentor teams, and support evidence-based decision-making in development and research contexts.
