@gensonkithome

Detail-oriented data associate skilled in Excel, data cleaning, and analysis.

What I'm looking for

I seek data-focused roles where I can apply Excel and emerging SQL/Power BI/Python skills to improve workflows, deliver accurate reports, and grow in analytics.

I am a self-driven Data Associate with over three years of hands-on experience in high-volume data entry, validation, and reporting, focused on delivering accurate insights with strong attention to detail.

I've founded and co-founded small ventures where I managed datasets, created streamlined tracking workflows, handled invoicing with 100% accuracy, and applied introductory R, SQL, Power BI, and Python for analysis and reporting.

I am currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Data Science and ALX Data Analyst Certification to deepen my analytics toolkit and continue delivering actionable, reliable data outcomes for clients and teams.
