What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth, innovation, and collaboration.

I am an experienced Business Analyst with a strong background in data analysis, process optimization, and strategic initiative management within the finance and IT sectors. My expertise lies in leveraging process mapping, lean methodologies, and advanced data analysis tools to drive organizational change and enhance operational efficiency. I hold a BSc in Informatics and am currently pursuing an MSc in Financial Engineering, which further enriches my technical capabilities.

Throughout my career, I have successfully executed projects that have significantly improved efficiency and reduced operational costs. For instance, while working at the Kenya Revenue Authority, I led initiatives that resulted in a 15% increase in tax collection efficiency and a 50% reduction in the time taken to resolve tax disputes. My ability to communicate effectively and engage stakeholders has been pivotal in championing organizational change and ensuring the successful adoption of improved processes.
