What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can build ML-driven insights, develop scalable ETL/BI solutions, mentor teams, and contribute to impactful, mission-driven analytics.

I am a data and analytics professional with hands-on experience building BI dashboards, developing predictive models, and automating data workflows to support decision-making across agricultural, commercial, and insurance sectors.

At Good Nature Agro I lead KPI dashboarding, ML/AI applications for crop yield and disease detection, data governance, and impact monitoring to support the company’s mission for smallholder farmers. Previously at Yalelo I delivered Power BI reporting, Python ETL pipelines, automation with PowerShell, and predictive sales models that improved operational transparency and efficiency.

I hold a BSc in Actuarial Science and am pursuing an MSc in Actuarial Science; I combine statistical rigor with practical tooling (Python, R, SQL, Power BI) to translate complex data into clear, decision-oriented stories and to train teams in data collection and reporting best practices.
